Still blooming...



This is the second flowering of the Amaryllis received from Marilyn Jane and Andy earlier this month for my birthday. And no, I'm not quite older than sliced bread (machine-sliced bread began in 1928) but I am older than the discovery of nuclear fission in 1934. I arrived on this nasty little planet in 1932, and that makes me exactly the same age as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. And if I'd been born there, you wouldn't be reading this right now, because I'd be too busy spending my money, or admiring the scene on a tropical beach, or maybe attending the camel races. So remember, "Trust in Allah, but tie your camel."


This is how much it has changed since just this morning...(above)
