Balsam, indomitable flower

This morning's walk yielded wet feet, and here's a stray balsam flower 

BERJAYA

Deep among the trees, in a really dark,  unpromising environment. It doesn't care! The balsam has seed pods that just explode, hurling seeds for yards. So we find them all over, growing in unlikely places.

Lovely reflections at the pond, not much frog activity today.

I was finding golf balls way out of bounds, probably the Saturday duffers. I threw a couple back onto the course.  

We're getting cool nights after hot days, much easier to tolerate. 

This week is about medical appointments. Hearing aid fitting, mammo, bonescan. I'll find out if the shots have improved my bone density. It takes a couple of years to register.

Meanwhile simple meals, turkey burger and mashed potato, nectarine dessert, last piece of chocolate cake today. That baking didn't last long, with help from Handsome Son and Gary. 

Still knitting, not much stitching though.

It's cool always to have socks and gloves to knit. No thinking and planning required. I might send gloves to Warm up America, too. They're a pretty fast knit.

Happy day everyone! Good to have something to make.
