Firefly Twilight

The Balloon Flower's Transformation
See photo number three.


It was necessary to thickly coat myself in a DEET-based product tonight or risk the hunger of mama mosquitoes buzzing around my ears. Before I visited the garden of swarming blood suckers, I performed minor surgery on the fleshy part of my hand below my right thumb to remove a thorn that had lodged itself there. Surprisingly, I found a Band-Aid just the right size for the mini-wound.

It's summer in Iowa, and my red clover are bringing me the luck of the lottery winner.


Aptly named the balloon flower, wouldn't you say?
