Divine

I'm feeling free and easy in Arizona. Must be the warm weather. Today I found a quilt shop, huge mall, and walked around snoping in some neighborhoods. Had breakfast, lunch, and dinner (only one meal though) at Olive Garden and realized how relaxing it was to eat all alone and not feel guilty about not sharing a dessert! Usually I don't have dessert at OG, but today I had a lot of time so I ate slowly and enjoyed the moment.




It's called "Torta di Chocolate", and they describe it as having "no sugar added". It's hard to believe, because it tastes sweet and oh so delicious!! Maybe that was a typo on the menu.

On my walk, I saw a fat rabbit and geraniums in bloom. What a treat to know that while we live in a frozen, no life state of Minnesota, there is actually someplace enjoying living plants and non-hibernated animals.





Oh, and then there are the oranges and lemons ripe on the trees. I don't think I've ever seen this before. I thought all fruit came from the grocery store! It really is a beautiful sight to see the yellow & orange against the green leaves.



Can hardly wait to see what today has in store for me. My plans are to visit a botanical garden... my friend Barb said it is a must see. I hope she's right!
