My cheeks get pink at every possible moment - when I'm drunk, cold, hot, happy, embarrassed, just worked out and a variety of other opportunities. So, saying to me, "your cheeks are red, did you just..." gets really, really old and annoying. You may as well say, "your muffin top is protruding especially far today, did you just eat a donut?" Also, do not ask me, "was that a sneeze?" I have the Alexander nose, which involves very large nostrils and I may subconsciously sneeze strangely so avoid blowing snot all over people unaware of personal space. I believe this results in something that doesn't always sound like a sneeze. Feel free to tell me, "nice cowboy boots" or "I like your hair that way." Not, "is that the new style?" or "are you cold, or is that a fashion statement?" or "is that your new hairstyle, or were you just too lazy to dry your hair?" If you don't have anything nice to say, leave me alone. :)
Look what was waiting for me outside this morning! What a nice surprise in this slightly warmer weather. This is from some sort of "vine" I planted last year on our arbor. It came from a neighbor who got it from a friend and I have yet to identify it, so if you have any ideas...
