1. We finally sold our property in Bryce Resort, although not without regrets. We picked up the check yesterday.
When we were up there checking on the house to make sure it was ready for the walk-through, I noticed some Indian Pipes growing behind the garage. Sometimes called the ghost plant, this wildflower does not contain chlorophyll.
2. I even found some echinacea and coreopsis that I planted long ago. The petunia is a recent addition, part of two pots of flowers that we put on the front deck to make it look cheerful.

Yes, I was at a water fountain. I stood behind the spout and shot my reflection. I like the illusion that my arms are resting on the brand label.
5. Today I went to the doctor for an ear ache. It started out as sinus congestion on Monday, turned into a sore throat and then settled in my right ear. The doctor said my ear looked "angry" and prescribed antibiotics. Before going to pick up the medicine, I took a lunch up to Skyline Drive and relaxed a little. The girl looking at the view is at the first overlook near Front Royal.

6. And for the finale, a quote that I liked. "The path becomes clearer as you continue to go on."
Indian pipe - so interesting! I had to google for I did not know this plant before. It is somehow sad to give up a house or garden that you have taken care for many years. But we sometimes have to take new paths! Many greetings & thank you for linking at Friday Bliss.

An interesting series of
ReplyDeletephotos. The Indian Pipe plant is new to me and fascinating. I hope you feel better soon.
Lovely post, as usual. I'm sure you're sad to be leaving that property.
ReplyDeleteLovely photographs.
ReplyDeleteI hope your ear feels a lot better after the course of antibiotics.
All the best Jan
I hope that you get better soon. Interesting, a plant that has no chlorophyl
ReplyDeleteWilly Nilly, aka, Linda, I like your reflection. Neat!! I like the quote also. We had looked up your condo, the view was great. I would love to go skiing down your hill.
ReplyDeleteI woke up about a month ago with a hurting hip. The pain came suddenly but didn't go away, diagnosis was osteoarthritis. I had an Xray guided injection and am having therapy now. It can't be fixed but could be replaced. I hope your throat and ear can be fixed.

I hope you are feeling better by now. (Sorry I am late in commenting.)
