My Backyard Stent

Tomorrow morning I'm going to the hospital to receive a stent in my left leg. Chances are someday I'll get one or more stents for my heart, as well.

I knew I could get bummed out about the future, if I weren't careful.

But this morning was beautiful. It was drizzling rain this morning. The clouds softened the light and the Mexican Petunias seemed to be begging for kisses.

I decided to make my own stent into the back yard.

 

I've been admiring this tough little Periwinkle all summer. 

It's been living in a sawed-off pipe next to the swimming pool.

Need I say it's a survivor?
