Flower Pictures<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As we were driving home, Nina said that she really wanted to stop at a house to take some pictures of the flower garden, as we passed the house. So, I turned right on the next street, right again on the alley, and right on the street beside the house. “Just pull over there,” she said, gesturing to the left side of the road, “even though it’s illegal. You won’t get a ticket.”<\/p>\n

So, as a dutiful husband \/ driver, I pulled over on the left side of the road with the car pointed into traffic, while she took a number of pictures of the garden.<\/p>\n

The flower garden is very pretty and very nicely maintained. The elderly woman who lives in the house has certainly put plenty of work into developing and maintaining the flower garden. There also had to be around a hundred bees making their way from flower to flower in the garden. I’m certain the bees were as happy as Nina was.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, it’s not often that I get asked to do illegal things. It made me laugh, it made her laugh, and it made my day.<\/p>\n

I’m also in the process of making some changes to the blog. The two Amazon ads on the blog have done absolutely nothing. A couple of people have clicked on the ads, but nothing more. Meanwhile, they are problematic for me and for people reading the blog because they are constantly updating the ads with Amazon. So, these ads are going away and will be replaced with ads much less intrusive. If you ever see anything interesting on the ads, feel free to click on them. There’s no obligation!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
