Fun and Flowers

Beth has stayed for a few days after the Concordia concert so she can hang out with me. Yay!

Yesterday, I had a Brad’s Day of Fun with her. We went to the diner for breakfast, and then the farmers market for some fruit, and then the mall, and then the garden center.

There were many delicious-smelling flowers at the garden center. The roses were beautiful and in full bloom:

But the best smell for me is citrus flowers. When I was a kid, I had a book that talked about superstitions of the middle ages. One of them was a race of people who had only one leg, and fed themselves by smelling flowers. The smell of citrus almost convinces me that that could be true. I feel so good after smelling those flowers, I think I could go without eating.

Beth heads back today, amid winds and snows at her destination airports. Please pray for safe and non-terrifying journeys.
