wishful Wednesday

I remember this flower from when I was a child, it grew rampant and lovely in Southern California. Found it again on a fence on the way to work, over in NE; is one of the "common Passionflowers" They fascinated me as a child, and I find them even more lovely now, might have to add them to the list of viney things I want to grow here...

the dog is awake, her ears are up, and nose in the air to catch whatever is heading this way...

sometimes only a song in your heart keeps the blues away

There are many ways to be prepared: this is one way, and this is another; I figure that as long as my sense of humor is intact, all will sort itself out somehow. Would be great to have a better idea of what is happening, but this is, in fact, the uncertainty that is life.

And, in the interest of eating dessert first, G and I both found this sorbet to be astonishingly scrumptious. I am so not vegan, and usually not particularly fond of coconut, but this is an instance where the sum of the parts combines to form something far greater - a wonderfully rich and balanced treat with such complex subtle flavor from the seasoning spices. Then again, I am just completely and totally a saffron fool...

my wishful Wednesday is that the diagnostic process goes smoothly and with minimal trauma, and the results are ones conducive to a long and happy life
