Like little rays of sunshine.
The colors remind me of a fruit salad. I wonder what tangerine, persimmon and jicama would taste like together.
Pair it with a new blue superfood and discover new worlds...

Magical realm of grasses.
On/Off - Thank you very much for your visit and for taking the time to comment! Much appreciated!
Part of getting through life is accepting, and dealing with, our weaknesses. Which doesn't mean they aren't still a pain in the butt.
Me, I'm over-sensitive to all kinds of sensory input - and input affecting my sensors. For instance, even in August in our constant ocean breezes, I daren't go outside without my ears covered.
This is, of course, a huuuge pain. When everyone else is out in shorts and bathing suits, I'm sweating with a big fleecy band around my head. It sucks, but the alternative (excruciating ear aches) sucks a whole lot worse.
I'm also overly sensitive to noise. And bright light. Especially bright flashing light that hits my eyes unexpectedly. So... imagine how much fun I am as a companion at a rawk show. Normally I take along ear plugs. Last night I forgot.
I guess I was lulled into complacency by the fact that the show was at a theatre. A play house. A place I last attended in my teens, when I saw some Shakespearean production there. So yeah... I went in plugless. And immediately regretted it. Still... I was up for enjoying myself... until the %$(*&$%(&ing light show started.
I can't imagine whose idea it was to flash big spotlights directly into the audience's eyes repeatedly throughout the night. Probably the same wise person who decided a super-bright sign behind the band... illuminated by 10,000 1,000 watt bulbs... was also a very good thing to flash repeatedly in the audience's eyes.
What really amazed me was that no one else seemed bothered. Whereas I was in several sorts of agony all night.
The bright flashing lights. Fuck, man. I thought I was gonna have a seizure or something. I ended up spending most of the night doubled over with my head in my lap, eyes closed, hands clamped over my face. Every time I tried to enjoy actually watching the band... zappo! Unexpected blasts of super-bright white light set off pinball explosions in my brain.
So today is pretty much a write-off. Migraine city, man.
And I HATE HATE HATE that my body is so delicate.
I'm from sturdy peasant stock. Why am I so fragile? Why do things that normal people take in stride disable me?
Sorry for the whining self-pity. Kee-rist. At least I know, without a doubt, that I am now too old for rawk shows. Goodbye youth. Your time has come and gone. From now on I'll just satisfy myself by listening to records at home.
for a new week with tough decisions in the US elections and another nationwide 'minor lockdown'!
Have a Happy Blue Monday!

Hello everyone,
Yesterday I spotted some multi-coloured poppies. Much to my delight, a hoverfly came to visit! Actually, there were tons of hoverflies buzzing around, so I guess they like poppies as much as I do!
Thanks a million for stopping by and for leaving me a comment. I do love hearing from you!
Have a fantastic day!

Doña Primavera
viste que es primor,
viste en limonero
y en naranjo en flor.
Lleva por sandalias
unas anchas hojas,
y por caravanas
unas fucsias rojas.
Salid a encontrarla
por esos caminos.
¡Va loca de soles
y loca de trinos!
Doña Primavera
de aliento fecundo,
se ríe de todas
las penas del mundo...
No cree al que le hable
de las vidas ruines.
¿Cómo va a toparlas
entre los jazmines?
¿Cómo va a encontralas
junto de las fuentes
de espejos dorados
y cantos ardientes?
De la tierra enferma
en las pardas grietas,
enciende rosales
de rojas piruetas.
Pone sus encajes,
prende sus verduras,
en la piedra triste
de las sepulturas...
Doña Primavera
de manos gloriosas,
haz que por la vida
derramemos rosas:
Rosas de alegría,
rosas de perdón,
rosas de cariño,
y de exultación.
Gabriela Mistral
