Flowering Currant

The snow vanished from the ridges around our house. For an hour or so, we lived inside a Margarita–all the rims salty white and the air like the liquor, intoxicating and half frozen.

I bought the flowering currant at our native plant show in Manilla. However, we have quite a few delicately blooming around the Salmon Creek watershed.

I once lived inside a Margarita for much more than an hour…it didn’t end well.

This is far nicer.

Margaritas (traditional–none of that fruity stuff) and Salty Dogs are my favorite drinks. As much as I like sweets, when I do have alcohol, I like it salty and tangy.

‘course that might be because I’ve never over indulged in salty drinks. If I climbed inside a Margarita for more than an hour, I might find myself without any alcohol to drink at all.

Thank you. Yes, they are all my photos unless I specifically state otherwise. What are you doing bouncing into blog posts from so long ago?
