Today I got a beautiful purple cast on my right arm. I only have to wear it three weeks! I admit I feel much safer as my doc told me my wrist is very protected now. But the best part is she said, if it doesn’t hurt, you can pick up your camera!

PS: The zinnias are blooming!

“I am doing something I learned early to do, I am

paying attention to small beauties,

whatever I have-as if it were our duty

to find things to love, to bind ourselves to this world.”

― Sharon Olds, Strike Sparks: Selected Poems, 1980-2002
