Yes, I know…it’s been a while since I’ve felt festive on a leftist Friday. What can I say, the garden keeps me busy. Busier than usual this year, since the only thing growing great out there right now is weeds. Oh well…
Anyway. El Ecuadorable was in Brazil this week, visiting with his old pal Lula, doing the chit-chat and the grip-‘n’-grin. But since the pix from that are all kind of boring, please enjoy this one instead. I posted it because it’s a great shot…
…and I love it.
