This sweet purple flower grows on the cactus plant. I think this is an amazing thing, cactus that flower. I was hiking out at Ebby's Landing on Mother's Day and saw a prickly Pear Cactus growing on the hillside. This is the PNW. Weirdly beautiful.

We used to paddle out to the marshy area of Diamond Lake and glide through the lilies. It was marvelous and also a little frightening to be in the marsh. All the dragonflies and frogs and life--I guess life can be frightening.

Women... It's for you! I'm in love with you this morning!

I'm thinking of the roses my first boyfriend sent me. One a day for a couple of months. It was after he moved to Alaska. I never saw him again. I've looked him up, well, searched the yellow pages and email addresses for Bill Johnson, a student at Joel E. Ferris High School when I attended between 1964-1969. We were sweethearts and were to marry--but I couldn't take his possessive love. I wanted to him and I didn't. I waited awhile, sending him warm scarves to wear in the cold Alaska winter, then I broke it off.
