woke up this morning with a killer sore throat. thank You Lord for cepacol.

doc appointment tomorrow. hopefully not strep. last time i got strep i resisted it and when i finally saw the doctor he bawled me out cuz i was almost at the point i would have needed intraveinous antibiotics. he said if it didn't improve in the next day or two, i would have to have an iv. so this time i'm glad i already have an appointment tomorrow. get it checked.

also my rash..... it once was red and killer itchy. after sunday, it's been pale pink and not so itchy. God healing it????? i hope so~!!!!!

sometimes i think i write rather blah. but that's ok, if i only *ever* had eloquence in my blog, it would be rather contrived. so i'll just spill. if i'm feeling eloquent, great. if i write in colloquialisms, fine. if i blah blah blah, fine. it's all good.

my favorite wild flower

in principle.

the western skunk cabbage

from wikipedia

"While some consider the plant to be a weed, its roots are food for bears, who eat it after hibernating as a laxative or cathartic. The plant was used by indigenous people as medicine for burns and injuries, and for food in times of famine, when almost all parts were eaten. The leaves have a somewhat spicy or peppery taste. Although the plant was not typically part of the diet under normal conditions, its large, waxy leaves were important to food preparation and storage. They were commonly used to line berry baskets and to wrap around whole salmon and other foods when baked under a fire. It is also used to cure sores and swelling." from wikipedia

God created it and called it good, so it is beautiful in His eyes. it's aroma is fragrant in His nostrils. it's useful in His hands, and plays a part in His plan.

more evidence of the Designer's hand and of it's honorable beauty:

"The leaves are the largest of any native plant in the region, 50-135 cm long and 30-80 cm wide when mature. Its flowers are produced in a spadix contained within a large, bright yellow or yellowish green spathe 30-40 cm tall; it is among the first flowers to appear in spring. The skunk cabbage also produces heat. During the Winter the heat it produces melts the snow around it so that it is able to survive." .... "The plant is called Skunk Cabbage because of the malodorous, distinctive "skunky" odor that it emits. This odor will permeate the area where the plant grows, and can be detected even in old, dried specimens. The foul odor attracts its pollinators, scavenging flies and beetles. Other common names include Yellow Skunk Cabbage and Swamp Lantern." from wikipedia
