Another "life: examined" that was exactly on time. I've been thinking so much about the "bloom where you're planted" metaphor lately, and my camera roll has for years been dotted with plants growing in the most unlikely of places...tenaciously persevering, quietly thriving, gently teaching.

I, for one, love the weather-as-baseline discussion. It sets a tone for context, especially for those who are reading this wondering, "Could I one day possibly be sitting in the very place she's writing from?" Been there. :)

And muito obrigada for another brilliant Portuguese-to-English translation and a SMIDGE SIGHTING!

I enjoyed your writing as usual. I think you already know this, but we're in the category of volunteer weeds that really love it here and happy with the new challenges we've found.
