| No, it's not a sea urchin. It's an artichoke that got overlooked and bloomed. |
Thanks for artichokes, which are delicious to eat and produce beautiful blossoms.
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
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.)
