Nomenclature

I have no idea what possessed her, but Reha was trying to tech the kids about the flowers we have in our yard. We are slowly trying to shift all the flowers and plants in our yard to “water-wise” and native plants. (We live in Utah and water is both precious and expensive in the summer). Reha is giving a small quiz to Lucas and points at a lovely columbine flower.

Re: Lucas, name that flower!

Lucas (after thinking for a few moments): Silvia.

Internet, meet Silvia the Columbine Flower.

Hi folks! Really, I look much better in person. This Jon fellow, while nice, can’t take a proper picture to save his life. Like what, he really thought “Oh, I’ll just take a photo of a beautiful flower IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT and it will come out great?” What kind of moron thinks that? Like he can just save every disaster he makes in Photoshop? Dude. Back away from the Wacom pen, you are not that talented, trust me on this. Listen, I’m a simply lovely purple columbine flower and if you saw me in person, you’d swoon, I promise. I smell nice, too. Bees go nuts for me. Don’t judge me by this guy’s “unable to take a decent photograph” skills. My name is “Silvia” and I am lovely.

1. Silvia is purple? Good to know ;)

2. Yeah… fine… it’s a terrible photo of Silvia. B-b-b-but… YOU are afraid of clowns!

   (OK, truth be told, I am also afraid afraid of clowns).

   (I mean, who isn’t?)

3. So you are into photographing flowers AND have a pink drivers license.

   Are you SURE you’re not gay?

4. Well hello Silvia, you are beautiful!  And not that bad of a pic considering it was nighttime!

Holy Crap! Look at all this STUFF down here. It's awesome!

 

Really, I'm glad you made it down here. Almost no one ever comes down here. I'm like in a freaking dungeon down here. I get lonely. But not you. YOU made it all the way to the end of the page. For this I think I've a little crush on you. I don't know, is "love" to strong a word to use in this situation? Well, if it's not "love," then it's very strong "like." I'm totally in like with you for coming down here. You are awesome. Please love me back! I know, I know, I shouldn't be all needy, it's not attractive at all, but you don't know how it is to be stuck down here. Who scrolls all the way to the end of a page anymore these days? Anyway, thanks for shedding some light down here in the depths. I appreciate it. Shoot me an email and I'll send you a dollar, OK?
