paradise

This being Thanksgiving,

 my goal was to post about gratitude,

but it seems the wifi is sometimes what we call

 mudbound.

Well, we'll give 'er a go...

Don Gray is a masterful artist and muralist
now living in Portland, Oregon.

His blog is a delight.

When I once commented to him that I had 

a 50cent bird-of-paradise plant trapped in a tiny pot,

 Don gently suggested that I transplant the poor thing.

That was four years ago. 

Thanks, Don.

And thanks to all of my blogging friends.

Your kind and attentive messages are treasured.

I'm very grateful for all of you.

Bless us all.
