Umm I just looked at sunsets...you see, here on the East Coast we can't see sunsets on the water; did see a magnificent sunrise over the Niagara Falls once tho. But...am I the only person who loathes SUN? Even the word, SUN makes me ill. The sun has poisoned me more than once - sun poisoning isn't pretty; you peel and peel over and over. It burns your eyes. I like second shift - no sun. And when you google sunsets you come up with eight bazillion pictures featuring PALM TREES. FUCK palm trees. Big ugly trunks with a little puff on top. Screw that. I like Mimosas and maples. Mimosas, when they're done right, you can climb and they got these pretty little leaves and gorgeous blooms in the spring. In fact, FUCK spring without Mimosas. It's useless without those pretty pink blooms. Oh sure you can have your cherry trees that you gotta RENT something to pick because they're so high. All pretty blooms and then impossible fruit. WITH seeds. BIG seeds. No, Mimosas are much more delicate. I sense a picture coming. There it is:

Well, aren't you on a dark roll this morning? Your dark alphabet sounds intriguing.

I'm ALWAYS on a dark roll. Dark's all I got, baby. You got somethin' better? (Seriously, I'm all ears and I'm not being sarcastic.)

Hmmm... a tree? I was thinking a Mimosa was a drink.
OK, what did I have in mind? There’s some kind of drink that involves Champagne and something else (orange juice?) that’s called a Mimosa or sumpin’ similar to that.
But, of course, being the macho “real man” that I am
-[Cough!-Cough!]- I wouldn’t know much about a sissy drink like THAT!
By the way, despite my Southern California background, I agree with you about Palm Trees, Anniee. They definitely conjure up some good memories, and it’s what they stand for or symbolize for me that counts. But they ain’t much to look at.
Weeping Willow – now THERE’S a tree!
I’ll be following your progress in the A TO Z BLOGGING CHALLENGE, Anniee, and I will undoubtedly submit a few comments along the way. Have fun with it!
A lot of participants will be discovering your blog for the first time. Last year, my blog “Following” increased by about 3 or 4 times the amount as a result of doing the A TO Z CHALLENGE, and I didn’t even finish it. However, a “Follower” is not the same thing as a “Reader”, and I would have preferred to have increased my readership.
Anyway… enjoy it, friend.
