Courage. The weekend is almost here . . .
Hi! How has everyone been? I've had a pretty busy summer!
Mod
I've been busy settling my mum into an aged care home, and selling her property. I am sad to say goodbye to my father's garden. I managed to get some seed pods from his camelia trees and some cuttings from his orchids. Mum had a few orchids in pots and a huge African Blood Lily. I brought those home to my place.

Good idea to save some plants if you can. I have several that were handed down to me from my grandmother. When the orchid cactus blooms, I always think of her.
I have some hippyestrum bulbs given to me by my grandparents. Thankfully they thrive without too much input from me.
At one point I had some peonies that were cut from my grandmother's garden. I had to leave them behind when the marriage went to shit.
I have a bacon bones & lentil soup in the slow cooker for dinner. The washing is done for the day. My kids have gone out for a milk shake. I am now sitting relaxing.
For milk shake read tattoo. 😳
Just dodged a prostate cancer bullet. Beat that!
No symptoms but something showed up wonky in my blood work. After a few more blood tests and visits to a urologist, I finally got the all clear.
Took about 10 more years off of my life, in addition to the 30 or so my kids took.

That's great! I've had a couple of call-backs after screenings, and that wait until you get the all-clear seems interminable. Your mind naturally goes to the worst place.

Did you ask could you have the 10 years back? Congratulations on getting the all clear.

Not recent. Many years ago. The sadness has mellowed greatly.
Glad to hear it, the mellowing part.
The Ficus! Where have you been, ficus? What’s new?

Sadly, however, I am now near northern exposure.

Maybe we ought to get the Ficus a grow light for the holidays.
I am fixing roasted cauliflower soup with no recipe. Brave for me. Go, me.❤️
I usually like a guide. But tonight I roasted cauliflower and used a half can of coconut milk, a teaspoon of white miso, 2 c homemade veg. Stock and a couple tablespoons of tahini. Really good, blended with my stick blender.

It’s like 1 am for me so i’ll probably be getting one soon to but whatever
I've sent my kids to the shops to buy ingredients for a baked cheese cake.
John is volunteering at a hospital in Zimbabwe. Oldest daughter just left to meet him in Uganda for a gorilla trek/week of hiking. I am hoping for a quiet weekend, some work in the garden, my new novel and a nap. Happy mother's day to all of the mums.
Happy Mother's Day to you, Cynthia, and all moms here.
I am enjoying the view of the new cover page for the group. ::ruffles leaves::
It is a lovely cover page. Happy new year, everyone!
