A Sweet Smell from the West

With a fragrance very similar to a Lily (Lilium longiflorum) the Clethra (Clethra alnifolia) is in bloom.
This shade loving shrub on the west side of the LipsYard is now alive with the light pink blooms that resemble little bottle brushes.

Along with its nice smell, Clethra attracts many butterflies, bees and hummingbirds.


That other smell coming out of the West is the bad aftershave of Vice President Dick Cheney, envoy of President George W. Bush, being sent to the troubled former Soviet state of Georgia to try and figure out that mess.

A little waterboarding should do the trick, don't you think?

Is there a Haliburton division that can fix this?

Any chance he'll take the Russians hunting?
