Walk With Me Wednesday

I have frequently in the past entertained you with pictures of the Canyon in all its splendid breadth and width. This time I thought I would share with you a few pictures of the flora growing wild there that I would see on my walks.


I don't know the name of these flowers, except that the bottom picture is of a Canyon Rose, which actually grows into a not inconsiderable tree all along the Canyon's rim.

What I do recognize, and you will too, is the species called Canyon Fibernut, which can be found somewhere along the rim when it's too hot during the day to hike. Don't you wish you were a Canyon Fibernut too?

Thank you so much for all your kind wishes and support in my job search. It has meant so much to me, to have such good friends that I haven't even met in person. Yet. And I actually did end up relaxing last night and getting a good night's sleep. However, I did get called very late this afternoon and told that after a very difficult decision (don't they always say that?), the position is going to the other applicant. Oddly enough, I don't feel very disappointed right now -- maybe it hasn't sunk in enough yet -- but obviously it wasn't meant to be. I intend to keep looking for something else to do, but I guess for now I'll still be making the best I can of the current job. At least they let me read and knit there.

And all will still be well. Thank you again, my dear friends, for being as supportive as you all have been in the past several weeks. Knitters really are the best.
