Frailea mammifera (and personal note)

Yesterday, when I was feeling a bit better, I took a photo of this little group of Frailea mammifera. I've always liked these little gems but we haven't had them around for quite a few years. When they flower I'll get another post up.
This wasn't one of my better days. Earlier today I was headed back to the house coffee in hand, escorting the dogs from their morning run, and I tripped on a hose. The end result was that I made a 2 point landing on the cement patio...the 2 points being my left hand and my head! (The right hand was busy holding the coffee cup.) Crack! And, with blood all over the place, all I could think of was that I had broken one of my favorite coffee cups!!!

The end result was that I received abrasions and contusions (and headache) which look a lot worse than they are. The CT scan cleared me of anything worse. So...I look like I've been in a big fight with someone...and I lost. Lynn-Marie suggested that she take a picture of me in among the cacti with the note: "Enjoy your plants, but don't hug the wrong ones!"

  2. Thanks Marisol. You are appreciated. I'm doing fine; just a "goose egg" on my forehead, a few cuts and scrapes, bruising and an occasional headache. Thanks for your concern.
