Cheeky

Cheeky wee dandelion poking its head from a pot of lovely blue lobelia! It is a very tiny dandy but I'm afraid its got to go!

Three good things:
1. Great family skyping around the world thanks to sons and grandsons who know how to get around the apps.
2. Good thing I looked at the paper this morning - a childhood and lifelong friend has died - she is only my age! Can't believe it!
3. Remembering to sit up straight!

sorry about your friend, curious how often you can be drawn to notice things seemingly randomly, but not

[Pam Knowler]

A dandy dandy! Sorry about your friend. I've had that happen before and it's always a shock to see so suddenly.

Oh how sad... death only happens to the elderly doesn't it, so we think? I did sit up straight at your third good thing.. and this dandelion is gorgeous!
