Stop to Smell the Flowers

Radi recommends that you stop to smell the flowers whenever you can.

He may be on to something.

For me, it’s a stress reducer.

Cut flowers are nice, but seeing a flower in its natural setting soothes me more.

You Are What You Eat

You’ve heard the expression, “You are what you eat.”

The flamingo clearly demonstrates this.

Only when it eats algae or invertebrates with red pigment do its feathers turn pink.

What if the food you eat most made your hair or skin change colors? What color would you be?

Bridge to Nowhere

Do you remember the big hoopla over a “bridge to nowhere” in the news several years ago?

This bridge reminded me of that.

It may go nowhere; however it is much more affordable than the one in the news.

Also, in my opinion, it has more character.

Want a Massage?

Admittedly, a lion massage is not like a people massage. Would you like a massage?

  • ___ Yes, but people-style, please. 
  • ___ I’m adventuresome. I choose the lion-style. 
  • ___ No way, I don’t want any massage.

African Moon Moth

I think the shape of this moth is spectacular.

Interestingly, the African Moon Moth lives for only a week.

Strangely, it doesn’t have a functioning mouth.

Stored fat is all it needs for its one week of life.

Flower Cart

When your garden needs a little something extra, you can add a flower cart.

Often, I see a small wheelbarrow repurposed as a flower cart.

This is the first time I’ve seen a shopping cart serve that purpose.
