In perusing the latest issue of Martha Stewart Living Magazine, it occurs to me that Martha is either (finally) seriously losing it..or she is, in fact, high. She shows a lovely fall bouquet on page 38 with flowers and crap that you've never seen and never heard of and would have to work full time to find.
The one that really caught my eye is this: Privet. The description is downright scary. Ready? "This hardy shrub bears deep-blue-black fruits in fall. They're found at farmers' markets and specialty flower shops. To give the fruits luster, gently buff with a cloth." Yes, you read correctly.."Gently buff with a cloth." Buff. Tiny little grape-like orbs in mounds of cornucopia-ready clusters. Buff. With a cloth. Sheesh.
