A little pink

 The Showy Lady's Slippers are in full bloom.


They can be found in the roadside ditches for another week or so then they will be gone for another year. 

Such a perfect flower.   It is Minnesota's State Flower.

Far Guy has a cold.  He thought it started as allergies late Thursday..but it is a full blown "man cold"  I am keeping two eyes on him.   He has begun the medication prescribed by his Pulmonologist.  

Minnesota Weather:  It rained.  High 73F or 23C  Low was 67F or 19C.  We are supposed to warm up into the 80's F this week.  I like the 70's F  the best. 

What's Cooking Lately:  Spaghetti, Pizza, Eggs...nothing very exciting.

  6. How beautiful are the lady slippers....Summer colds can be worst than the winter colds. I hope FG recovers soon and has not complications from this cold... Wishing you both a great week.

  7. The Showy Lady’s Slippers are just beautiful this year — such perfect little blooms. I’m sorry Far Guy is dealing with a full-blown cold; hoping the medication helps him turn the corner quickly. Your updates always feel like a peaceful slice of Minnesota life.
