A railroad switch point on the tracks at the Golden Spike National Historic Park There is a lot I don't know. I don't know who will lead the United States for the next four years (at the time I'm composing this post, that hasn't been determined yet.) I don't know when covid cases will stop rising in my state and start decreasing. I don't know how challenging situations will turn out. There is much uncertainty in life. Living in limbo-land is hard. It's emotionally exhausting. It can be immobilizing. My body seems to think chocolate is the answer, but I know that isn't a long-term solution. What do I need in times like these? I need to REMEMBER . 1. R esilience. People are resilient. I am resilient. I'm thankful for resilience. 2. " E ach Life That Touches Ours for Good." So many people, both those I know in "real life," and those I have only met virtually, have taught me, encouraged me, and been examples to me. I'm thankful
Living life with a thankful heart
Wow, that is beautiful! Too bad artichokes taste so good and rarely make it to the blooming stage. :)
ReplyDeleteThey are tasty, that's for sure!
DeleteIt is beautiful. I've never seen an artichoke bloom.
ReplyDeleteI thought I had picked them all, but obviously overlooked this one.
DeleteI didn't know they could do that! Wow!
ReplyDeleteI believe they are related to the thistle family.
DeleteOh, I love artichokes in all it's forms and functions wish I could grow them here. The sea bass recipe look delicious and I'm going to give it a try. I'm spending time catching up on all the blog posts I've been missing while I was gone and enjoying the reading. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great time on your vacation!
DeleteThey do have beautiful flowers. Some neighbors grew them and let some go to seed and I couldn't believe how pretty they were!
ReplyDeleteThey are quite impressive, aren't they?
DeleteI don't think I had any idea artichokes did that - how cool!
ReplyDeleteQuite the unexpected burst of color, right?
DeleteDid a wordless wednesday myself today, so more computertime for myself in stead of blogging. I really thought it was a see-creature! So beautiful that flower, why eat those giant things with so little parts to eat?! What made the first person to eat a artichoke eat the artichoke?!
ReplyDeleteI have no idea how artichokes were discovered to be edible, but I'm glad they were! I love to eat artichokes. (The flowers are pretty, too.)
