Surprise!


What's that strange growl emanating from my throat?
That mucus laden croak that sounds strangely like me?
What is that pain in my sinuses that nothing can touch?
Fiddle-dee-dee...
It's the "takes forever to get over cough"
that seems to sweeping the land....
No one is immune, from what I have seen.
Men, women and children all croaking weakly.....
Now, the details of this ailment need not be reproduced for
"the delicate reader"....
but suffice to say, strange things have surfaced.
Coughs creep in from dark recesses to take me to my knees.
aches and pains are mostly treated with my favorite standby,
BC powders and a Diet Coke to wash it down.
But the coughing in the middle of the night is making me weak during the day.
I am sick of being sick.
We have cancelled our trip to visit my father-in-law, because we are
both dealing with this......blob of mucus.
Thank goodness for sunshine, blue skies, please don't go away...
My cough sounds like a bowl of rough ground clay....
(sorry)

Sunflowers.....FUN!






My goodness....
what a wonderful time of the year.
How perfect the sunflower is....
It feeds my neighborhood birds...
It makes me smile,
It it architecturally challenging...
it is photographically generous....
it feeds the soul...
Smiles!
