Masa Blossoms


A couple of days ago, on one of our many-a-week walks to the grocery store, I smelled the corn tortillas before I saw the pink popcorn.

That's kind of a weird sentence, I know. You may remember my February-focused mild obsession with blossoming plum and cherry trees. (And the fact that I think they smell like corn tortillas, in a flowery way.)

To be frank, it wasn't hard to find joy in January this year because it didn't feel like January at all. More like May. I didn't have to endure the gloom and doom of a looong January - which is why I wasn't quite ready for the beautiful sight. I feel like I didn't quite earn it this year.

I have some projects I'm hoping to get done this month. That's the loose theme in my mind for February - projects. If I actually finish anything I start, or start anything on my list, I'll share. Today we finally had some gloomy weather, and gloomy weather makes me want to do projects. Or it makes me insanely sloth-like.

I LOVE the "weird" sentence!!!
You could start a great novel (or novella!) with a sentence like that! :-)
