 This stunning specimen of a black locust...a dancing tree.


She even appears to be retaining some fluid in her ankles.  LOL.

I love this tree!  I have a statue in my back garden that looks similar -- long, flowing dancer.  I call her Isadora.   For Isadora Duncan.  Now I am wondering how I could prune a tree to grow like that! 

Fluid in the ankles  :rofl;   :rofl;   :rofl;

at the moment I'm not all that happy about being ME.  I'd be a tree -- or even a bush.  But I want thorns.

I still want to be a person who can pee
and if that was a male person
I could pee on the Crawford Tree
( as a female - those thorns could hurt)

How do you get skinny on dialysis.  I gain a kilo every two days   (that's 2 plus pounds).

MMM, today would be a great day for ice tea...  I'll  make a pitcher full.  Now if I could think of something good to much on.
Too hot for chilie or gumbo...  maybe steamed shrimp???  Beldons will cook what you buy in lots of different kinds of seasoning...

i know what you meant... I'm scared to death that on Tuesday they will tell me it is time to start doing the renal diet.

I never follow it and my nep doc said anything in moderation
I have not figured out the moderation part
but doc was not referring to star fruit
I have a fluid restriction of 50 ounces a day - counting anything that melts at room temp
and I usually do not follow that
oh well,
my sauna --- outside in the van with the windows up -- 5 minutes and I am dehydrated or dead

but the only thing I've really learned is that nothing fits everybody.  It is so indicidual.  Never thought I'd be told to eat ice cream and don't eat spinach.... but I like it.
