A drop of water balances atop this cactus contained by and submerging these tiny thorns.
Dragonfly
Caroline captured this macro photo of the dragonfly with big lips. Ok, dragonflies don’t have lips, but if look at the larger version of this photo, you, too, will think that this dragonfly is the exception.
Grapefruits
Here come the grapefruits. It’s the end of summer and the grapefruits are hanging heavy in the trees but are not yet ready for picking. The lemons are dark green and will require a couple of months until we have our endless free supply of all the lemons anyone could possibly ever use. Fresh citrus is a definite positive of living here in Phoenix, Arizona.
Lunch Delivery
No leftovers and not wanting to have lunch from IHOP where her coworkers were chowing down, Caroline opted for Hub’s Delivery Express. We split two sandwiches, with each of us ending up with half a portabello and half a four-cheese grilled sandwich.
Old Hands
These are the old hands of my Grandfather Herbert. He spent his second day in the hospital today, still trying to determine just what’s wrong. We spent the evening with him and his new roommate, Ed, flipping between the channels and watching the drip feed go drip drip drip.
Looking South in Phoenix
From the 9th floor of Good Samaritan Hospital in Phoenix, Arizona. My Grandfather was admitted for observation and testing this afternoon, complaining of dizziness while his recent blood tests suggest a problem with his kidneys. Herbie is 84 years old, had triple bypass surgery 25 years ago, had two heart valves replaced ten years ago, and received a pacemaker a year ago. The Energizer Grandpa.
