Pyracantha

I needed some relief for my back so I was able to get a last minute massage appointment at the Santa Rita Lodge. She only had 30 minutes but I did get some relief. Afterwards, I sat on one of the benches near the giant pyracantha in the warmth of the sun. Amazingly, I was the only person there so I was able to say a few prayers. Mostly for mom (this is where I spread her ashes) but for my brothers and their families, even the goofball.
It was so quiet. A bird here and a bird there but I couldn’t hear a peep. It was really glorious.

I looked high and lo for anything resembling a flower. The berries will have to do.
