A kidney stone, coupled with an infection has set me back five days – two trying to soldier through the pain, and three pursuing medical answers. Anyway, I’m on the mend, tired already of this foray into self-pity. Tomorrow, I keep telling myself, is a new day. (Image my own)

I can hear my mother’s scolding me now: Don’t stand under those icicles!! I love the milkweed photo. When I was a kid, I loved how the pods would open to release their seeds.
