On the warm stone walls, climbing roses were just coming into bloom and great twisted branches of honeysuckle and clematis wrestled each other as they tumbled up and over the top of the wall. Against another wall were white apple blossoms on branches cut into sharp crucifixes and forced to lie flat against the stone. Below, the huge frilled lips of giant tulips in shades of white and cream nodded in their beds. They were almost finished now, spread open too far, splayed, exposing obscene black centers. I've never had my own garden but I suddenly recognized something in the tangle of this one that wasn't beauty. Passion, maybe. And something else. Rage. ↗

I had a tough time 12 years ago getting 'Driving Miss Daisy' off the ground. Today, it would be impossible. ↗

I'd love to adopt, but having a daughter, Daisy, who's in the middle of her teens, I'm now thinking: Is this a time to start all over again or is this a time to realise those child-rearing years are over? ↗

I don't want to look like Daisy Duke every day. I don't want to wear a bathing suit every day. ↗

I made sure no butt cheek hung out. You know, the original Daisy, Catherine Bach's shorts were shorter than mine. ↗
