Chia

This one's for you Mimi!!!  My friend Mimi and I used to volunteer at the garden center in our local botanical garden, The Living Desert.  It was fun, we learned about the desert plants and met lots of people.  One day a gentleman came in looking for a Chia plant.  We looked at each, had no idea what he was talking about,  thought maybe he meant those Chia heads you see advertised on TV are recommended he go to the local Walgreen's where he might find one.  Well, we were sure embarrassed when we discovered there really was a Chia plant!!!  So Mimi, this is what it looks like.

Italian Rose

A rose is a rose is a rose. Everywhere in the world. And this pretty one was in Chiancano Terme, the "spa" town in Tuscany. People from all over go there to partake of the wonderful mineral waters. We were always on the go and didn't have time to checkout the local spas. Maybe next time.
