I don't know if any of you have been reading the 'Riverbend' blog, for which I have a link on mine. Today, the Guardian published an extract from a recent post in which the author talks about finally deciding to leave Iraq. How brave she has been to stay so long, how brave she is to make the decision to go from the 'safety' of the the known to the 'fearful' unknown of a future in another country, with an uncertain future. I'm reminded of how lucky I am and how many more choices I have had in my life and still have.
On a lighter note, my pumpkins have little flower buds on them. I'm so excited! Sad, isn't it!

What colour are pumpkin blossoms? Are pumpkin blossoms prepared and eaten as zucchini blossons are?
Thanks for the reminder about the Riverbend blog...I want to go back to it. Haven't read it in a while.
Happy Canadian Mother's Day!
love, mj
