For Cee’s FOTD
Oops. Late today. I have an excuse!!! Tell you about it later. Marigolds are the traditional flower for Day of the Dead in Mexico. All along the road between Ajijic and San Juan there are roadside vendors, with trucks filled with them in front of the pantheons (graveyards.) The trail of petals from the flowers in front of my altar to the front door is a road inviting spirits of loved ones to visit but then to depart again. Thus it leads both up to the altar and afterwards, back out through the front door. My house has had a number of visits by spirits over the past 22 years. If you check back through my blogs, you’ll hear their stories.

(Forgottenman suggested I post a real flower to atone for his little gag on the earlier one posted for today.)

This is the last plumeria bloom of the season, folks. Somehow, rendered lovelier by its solo status. Yesterday it was there. By Christmas, the tree will be totally devoid of leaves as well. So goes nature. I’ll see if Oscar will string it with garlands for me again this year.

Commonly known as slipper plant, this euphorbia is near my hammock so I pass it ever time I go down to my “second office.” There is electricity to plug my computer in if need be, so it is a way to get out of the house and still keep “working.” (Playing.) There are usually one to three dogs on my lap or by my side in the hammock as well, so it’s a full office.
