My Fragrant Find, Brief Summary of Space Exploration, & an Apology

Before delving into silliness, I want to express my gratitude to all our US nation’s fallen protectors. May they rest in peace and their families find comfort. Now on to my usual nonsense.

Carnations have always been my favorite flower, especially for their fragrance. I was happy to score a deeply discounted bundle of them. Over a week from my purchase they still smell wonderful and their pale pink petals remain looking fresh.

The greenery was filched from my asparagus plants...

I divided them between two containers because the perfectly sized plastic vase was nowhere to be find. ~shakes head~ It’s so typical of me. Some went into a little sake server and I think look rather elegant. The others in a clear glass appear rather like something Dr. Suess might envision.

Is this not silly?

In a short answer to a few queries about current space flight experiments, goals include building a permanent station on our moon and, eventually, Mars. Whether you believe it or not, humanity is getting closer with every test flight. It’s doubtful either my husband or I will be alive to witness a Mars occupation but we are enjoying the process.

If you have even the least bit of interest you should check out at least one launch. Modern camera technology provides stunning and fascinating views. There are several companies like Blue Origin and SpaceX making great strides.

My apology is to Strayer, whose content I devour. Currently, not one web browser out of the four on my laptop allow me to comment. For whatever reason, each one shows an error stating I cannot sign into Google. ~scratches head~ Fingers crossed, perhaps my tech savvy husband can help.

Do you have a favorite fragrance? Are you aware that our olfactory senses are purported to store the strongest memories?
