Three days ago I was taking my usual morning two mile walk with my dog and noticed these little blue flowers in the drainage ditch were in bloom. I knew that they were the Alaska State flower but could not remember for the life of me what they are called. Yesterday as I was walking by the same patch I remembered they are called "Forget-Me- Not's." I then appreciated the irony of the name coupled with the event and started to laugh. Dog was probably trying to figure out what was going on. I still think it was pretty funny. Humor is where you find it even if you are not looking for it. Cheers Don P.
