Blue Star

Like a little blue star, this small flower is still blooming and braving the winter weather out in the garden. It had to be photographed before it succumbs to the rain and cold nights.
News: Mrs.Joesblips car passed its annual test this morning. I managed to get the battery replaced and the mechanic wiped up the bit of grease seeping from the C.V. joint. Result: A perfect pass. They never noticed the split in the rubber seal. Right now it's back with the garage to have the seal replaced.
So much for our much vaunted testing system. I wouldn't have passed it!
