#the Bakers house

Anemone x hybrida ‘Honorine Jobert’, EN: Japanese anemone, NL: herfstanemoon

So far I found wild or semi-wild plants in my garden, but I think this one might be a remnant of the original inhabitants of this house, the Baker family. You should know that the Bakers built the house that I now live in, until the municipality designated this to an "industrial harbor area", unsuitable for living. Mr and Mrs Baker were forced to move to another village. The house got a new official destination as "artist studio/office". And now I illegally live in my "office" or what is still sometimes called "the Bakers house". It looks and feels exactly like a family house and still has a massive garden. But walk 200 meters and you can see we're surrounded by oil tankers and coal shipping. It's a very anthropocene vibe.

Now the Bakers really loved living in this house. Mr Baker had built it together with his son, who was a contractor. They used all kinds of leftover materials from the sons construction work. The doors have always been kind of weird and close in awkward angles as a result. My favorite detail is that for piles they used street lanterns.

Mr Baker must be in his eighties now. He occasionally visits and then comes to check "his" house. Mrs Baker passed away thee years ago. She has never been back to visit because their forced relocation had left her heartbroken. What is now our wild paradise, she had carefully crafted into a decorative garden with magnolia trees (still here!), a hedera hedge (still here but very wild!), terraces (that are now completely overgrown but I sometimes hit tiles with my spade) and maybe also Japanese anemones...?

Japanse anemone is a cultivar but once it has established itself it's pretty good at maintaining itself. Not only is it a perennial plant, it also spreads through rhizomes. Fun fact: I did not know that word till I looked up this plant! I had often encountered rhizomes/woodstalks in pesky weeds such as hedge bindweed, but I did not know there was a word or it or that it is a rather common strategy for plants. Rizhomes are now my favorite ecological phenomenon.

Anyway, it seems that this is a plant that is planted for decoration mainly and you can buy it in many garden stores. I like to think Mrs Baker put it here thirty years ago and it has maintained itself since. It's very pretty and blooms up till eight weeks in the late summer/fall. I hope it will maintain itself for a much longer time in our garden.

One of my favorite things about Somewhere Beyond the Sea was how was Sal has grown and become more comfortable since the beginning of the first book. I mean, this kid who rarely spoke up about anything, and NEVER around Linus, is now the one the kids almost always trust to speak up for them.

And more importantly, he calls out the adults for dumb things they're saying or doing SEVERAL times throughout this book. It says so much about Arthur, Linus, and Zoe and the way they raise these kids that he's comfortable doing that. It makes my heart so happy to see him have a place where he's that comfortable in his own skin, and I love the adults in his life for giving him enough respect and room to flourish for that to happen. It shows in all of the kids, but I think Sal especially.

sometimes family is a regular man, his surprisingly smart (and capricious) cat, his phoenix husband, the antichrist, an amorphous slime boy, a nature sprite, a gnome, a wyvern, a shapeshifter, a yeti, a much older and more powerful nature sprite, and her girlfriend the mayor
