Skedaddle!

17 Replies

When you’re unwell, do you allow others to take care of you, or do you prefer to soldier on alone? What does it take for you to ask for help?

Skedaddle!

Bring me vitamins and soup,
but please don’t camp upon my stoop.
For when I have the ague or flu,
I’d rather not commune with you!
I’d rather sink into my gloom
sealed up lonely in my room.
Sleep as much as I am able,
use my stomach as a table.

Leave liquids here beside my bed,
but please don’t hover overhead.
An angel is appreciated
if, once immediate needs are sated,
they disappear and leave me to
my soggy Kleenex and the loo!

Chile Tree!

This tree at the Nueva Posada in Ajijic, Jalisco, Mexico is huge and is made entirely of dried red chiles (Spanish spelling) with poinsettias and a few juniper boughs for accents.  It was very hard to photograph but hope this gives a general idea.

This actually is a photo of a bougainvillea, not a painting.

This is actually the topper of my friends Joan and Michael’s tree.  I didn’t have one this year as I’m going to Phoenix for Christmas.  Here are some other shots from their tree:

This is the door to a residence in Ajijic, Mexico.  The shadows are unfortunate.  I need to try to take this again in the morning some time!
