Reaction setting in

Here's the empty cup from the hibiscus blossom 

I feel like this today. Maybe reaction after all the recent relief and excitement.

So I walked, not too hot, catching this new view of the debated plant 

It's now about two feet tall, and I thought evening primrose opened in the evening, but this is mid morning.  I think this may be blogistas 1, Boud 0. 

And here's my cure for feeling low.

When I can get there, yesterday too tired, but a few minutes, with leaping frogs and turtles swimming, is a great natural remedy.

And on the way home, a greeting from Billy the Pup, licking my phone 

Then backing up to get her picture taken, looking Big and Fierce 

Happy day everyone, and for the etymologists among us 

And, another reason to love her, she's a legit great cook, here making stuffed dosas with Mindy Kaling
