Dizzy Day — Dizzy Photo
It appears I am going to deal with what I call a “dizzy day” today. This means very little computer time until it passes, as that only aggravates the condition. I do hope I recover quickly but I think, for now, a walk is in order … natural light seems to be best (and fluorescents the worst). I had thought about a <gasp!> shopping trip to Costco, which I just joined today but that won’t be happening. (I had heard they have good organic produce: in my quick look-see yesterday I saw a few things, but not as many as I had hoped. Their sparkling water was decently priced, but only because they are having a $3 off deal until August 30. I did see a lot of junk food I will be avoiding, though!)
This plant I’m posting might be Kalanchoe tetraphylla, but I really need to read up on my succulents before I get specific.

Succulent Sunday, Anyone?
While I was not one to appreciate succulents in my younger days, I have grown to love these amazing plants. In some ways they seem like some sort of alien beings to me. But then I do have a rather vivid imagination!

Two Succulents
… from 2013. Sometimes it takes me a few years to actually look at things. Funny how that goes.
I was looking for the Crown of Thorns plant, due to today being Good Friday. If you don’t know succulents and think you can guess which one of these is “Crown of Thorns” … well … think again. (Or at least I had to think again.)
Could you guess the the top is Crown of Thorns? I don’t have a clue what the bottom one is yet. I’ll have to do some research.
Blessings to all who observe this Holy Week. Blessings to all who don’t, as well.
My Daughter’s Birthday
Today is my daughter’s birthday. Yes, she was born on April 1st. (My mother thought my husband was making an April Fool’s joke when he called to say we’d had a girl, as I was so convinced that I was having a boy — mostly so I wouldn’t be disappointed, mind you — that mom bought a card for the birth of a boy!) Unfortunately we just had the run-of-the-mill birth while the girl in the bed next to mine gave birth in a truck (if I’m remembering correctly) so no TV crew for me. Go figure.
My daughter is the one who managed to get me to see succulents differently. I grew up thinking they were awful plants. (I suspect this was due to my mother not caring for them. Funny how that goes!)
Happy birthday, Kelsey! I hope you get to celebrate after your day at work. and I thank you for giving me new eyes. You’ve always had my heart.
