Different

Another beautiful and exotic flower.  Love the color combination. Bright and beautiful,  makes you feel good just looking at it.

This reminded me of a puzzle that my friend Gerry and I did some years ago up in Carson City .  When we finally got it finished, then framed it and it Gerry hung it on the wall of  the Little Nickel Casino where she worked.  I know, I told this story a hundred times.

Are these hedgehogs or porcupines?   Cute little guys.  Look like boot brushes. 

I never heard of this.   Had I known I would have put it out on May Day.  what a cutie.  I bet she can do a cute hula dance.     the leis are so beautiful.    

The Golden Gate Bridge had another birthday.   The write up was interesting and the pictures great.   I had not seen pictures of the before and after.     An engineering feat to be proud of.    

A new week and we got a big storm last evening.  Mother Nature was kind and held back until the yard sales were over.     We are planning another for later on in the summer ;  a get rid of all sale;   um. . . I've heard that statement made a time or two.   We have some lovely pieces that need a home ,much to nice to dump.    No more collecting I say, that is until I get to another yard sale and cannot resist a trinket or two.   I only bought seven hard back books but at ten cents a piece I just couldn't leave them behind.   A few Danielle Steele, and old Western Jake, and several I haven't read by unknown authors to me.   So my summer reading is all set.   Today is a house work day;  have the kitchen to do as the crumbs are as bad as the weeds.    Jock's springer salmon was more than delicious;  just as light and tasty as anything I've ever eaten.   Pat made a special couscous dish that was delectable and the fresh asparagus topped it off.   It is so nice to be spoiled and have dinner brought over so I didn't have to put my shoes on.   Try sharing a meal with someone you love and I guarantee a happy face for the rest of the day.    Blue berry pancakes would taste good.   Don't forget your good deed for the day;    smile with your eyes and share a hug or two, it 'bodes well' and makes you feel 'ten feet tall'.    Hugs to all.
