Forget Mother's Day at your own peril.

I can't pick flowers from 4000 miles away for my mother. It hadn't really thought about it. I figured "I will call my mother! She will be so shocked I remembered!" Then she calls to remind me and let's me know not to feel bad about not picking flowers this year.

So now I feel bad about not picking flowers this year.

So I look it up. "Hey! I can pick them here and take a picture of them!"

No. I can't.

Behold the amazing Erythronium americanum! Grows pretty much everywhere... 4000 miles away. Good show, trout lily. Good show.

While writing this I paused and realized. "Don't I officially have two moms now?"

Then I paused again. "Didn't I get married this month last year?"

I will now distract you with two pictures and a video of a big fish. These are from earlier this year.
