This beautiful weather can’t last, I just know it can’t

Over our back fence. England.
This pampas grass is so pretty this time of year, especially when the light hits the feathery tips just right. When I was in elementary school, my mother took me to an allergy doctor to find out all the things I was allergic to. It turned out that in addition to chocolate (ahem), I was also allergic to a slew of plants including this one. Somehow, though, pampas grass doesn’t bother me here.
I am off to have lunch with my friend S. Her daughter (one of Roxi’s best friends) has been out of school for nearly a week and a half with a combination cold/asthma attack. Poor dear!
Tonight, Mr. DJ, Roxi and I are going to the City to see a musical. As for our weekend plans, I don’t think we’ll get to do a walk since rain is in the forecast. Maybe we’ll try for something indoors.
Have a great weekend!

Allergic to chocolate?! You eat it though,right? How do you make that work?
Enjoy the splendid weather!
Alyson–Yes, I have always eaten it, so I am not sure what that positive test was about ;-)
like cream in my coffee makes me sneeze, but I have it anyway! Love that pampas grass picture. I was trying to take some pictures of the fall grasses but couldn’t get a good shot from my car when I saw them.
What musical will you see? We’re going to ‘the sound of music’ next week.
Have fun at the musical!
I am supposedly allergic to it too. I do get allergenic shiners if i eat a lot of it.
Magical photo. Like a painting!
Enjoy the musical, and review, please!
Christine–I see so many things I’d like to photography while driving, but usually I don’t have my camera or there isn’t a safe spot to stop. Oh well…
Susan–”Shiners” as in black eyes?
Pamela–Thank you, that is a nice compliment. I will write about the musical on Monday. :-)
Just- Yep, like two black thumb prints under the inner part of my lower eyelids. It could be from the artificial vanilla too, I suppose since I don’t get them with all chocolate all the time or amount.
Hi! Nice to meet you. Thanks for visiting and commenting. I willcome back and read more of a Texan ex-pats view of my country. Always interesting to see through another’s eyes.
The pampas grass made me think of your waving to us…it looked so friendly! Mimsy
Barbara–There is so much to see in this lovely, lovely country. It’s going to be hard to see everything on my list! Thanks for stopping by :-)
Mimsy–I was waving–Hi! Hi! Hi! Miss you all. XO
