Hey judih, those aloes you sent me, what are they? They only grow in the mideast? What's the story with them? I saw these once before in a photo you posted sometime in the past year. Caught my eye then too. Thx.

aloe friendly artwork, mingo.
These particular aloe? More than likely they grow other places, but the size of them always floors me.

The plant keeps on growing, year after year, sturdy and health-giving. Got a burn, got a cut, got a skin rash, break off a fleshy leaf and rub some of the thick aloe liquid on the problem and it instantly soothes.

Size? The one in the photo is about 8 or 9 feet high.
Wonder what you find in Texas.

9 feet ? I'd thought they might be of a size but 9 feet? Those blooms are really in your face red. I like 'em. Woke up this morning feelin' sparky. Sun ain't even up yet. I gotta get somebody in here to haul away the Oldsmobile that's been sittin' in my driveway for about the past eight months. Sometimes I get in a stall mode about things and it can go on and on. Then I burst into activity and food starts flyin' everywhere and I leave without my hat. Hey I'm feelin' pretty good.
Good Mornin' judih in Israel! And thx on the painting.

That Girl (Yes, a title. I ain't hot on titles but I love naming things)

I remember that girl
she had brain divided up into apartments
with cereal that took a long time to grow but
she had no pity for Russia or the game of chess & could be nothing but smoke & fire in your arms or in the forest.
She said she wished Rip Van Winkle would wander into her yard so she could give him the only oral sex he would ever need.
Her yard was the Pacific Ocean.
The Rockies ran right through her bathroom & would I keep an eye on the oil in her Jeep and if I did she promised I would never
find her wandering out alone
onto the prairies

looking down on a mountain
of renaissance curls

I'm saying to myself, "It's the weekend, is mingo all healed up for it?" I'm hoping so. It's good to drop in with friends, I'm dropping in with you. You've cheered me up that I could smile reading yours.

Sick? Well I've brought no soup!
But I'm awful sorry you've got the Croup!
Flu bug season
I'll take a mosquito any day
over those cold leftovers.

My that's a sizzling red display! Eye popping, yet mellowing at the same time. Nice.
