Brain Sludge: Missives from a quirky mind

A cool breeze and a lake view make for a pleasant lunch hour.

I stopped at a roadside flower stand today. I was seduced by the sign that said peonies and when I pulled up you could see buckets that had really lovely, pale pink peonies. I walked in fully confident that is what I was going to bring home with me. However, as soon as I saw the mixed bouquets that were tucked away toward the back of the stand, I was hooked! That beautiful fuchsia peony! The white peony! The iris that was just like the ones my family had been admiring outside of a restaurant at lunch! Flowers deserve exclamation points!!!! Anyway, $20 cash in the honor system cash box and off home I went!

I'm working late and as I walked to the copier, I saw this little rainbow peeping through the slats of the blinds in one of the empty offices. What a little happy treat!!
