Jo, In our young days 1972-1974 this photo was captured in the dark by flash on Black & White negative film. 52 to 54 years have passed and a scan on a printer of the contact sheet developed in the ‘70s processed again through a photo editing program that has converted B&W into a colorized image and voila, the result is magic for my heart. Here you are again. This is a present from me to you and me. I record you as my work of art that I had the loving wonderful opportunity to share my life and capture your image. Now and for the forever of the internet it is recorded.
With all my love and thanks to our Lord for loving and caring for you, I love you, Happy 74th Birthday.

Your beautiful Duranta Golden Dewdrop plant took a sabbatical leave for 24 months then surprised me with this bloom this season. Jo, are you involved in this mischief?
Coreopsis have been growing in your “Fairy Garden Corner” since we planted them together.
My love, now, and when we return to view what has become of the Fairy Garden together and then forever after.
The picture from our early days is one I am imagining you haven’t thought about ever, till now but now will never forget as I haven’t and will not.
Love,
Ry.

Weathervanes are what I watch for a forecasted direction of accurate political winds. I may someday refine my understanding of an explanation of why they are rarely accurate for more than a moment while spinning in the wind.
Conclusion: good while each breeze lasts.

A recommendation to the wonderful Canadians. Should the future be to fight fire with fire marching forward with the motto to "Make Canada Great Again".

Metaphorically I summarize Prime Minister Carney's performance based on solely my perception of what he says and does, as his attempt to wear *two hats on his head. Not always separately. Tough task.
*May be a different number than two.
