But today, bunch by bunch, our wisteria trees are shedding purple. The fragrance, however, still lingers in our deck. And your pictures reminded me of :khiaabaan Aamol" where the wisteria lined street adorns my childhood memories still! Spare me the politics, dear Michele; for as I grow older, I loose ,bunch by bunch -my once a preoccupation- , interest in this madness of global affairs.

J'étais persuadé qu'il était interdit de photographier dans un bureau de vote. En effet, j'ai été plusieurs fois scrutateur et je me souviens d'un échange avec un des membres du bureau sur toutes les implications d'une élection libre. Notamment, il ne faut pas que les gens puissent avoir une preuve de ce qu'ils ont voté (parce que ça pourrait servir au commerce des votes, ce qui est bien sûr interdit). Je pensais que dans ce cadre, il était interdit de photographier dans un bureau de vote (même si les journalistes ne se votent pas pour y filmer les hommes politiques). Mais j'ai cherché dans le code électoral et je ne trouve aucune trace de cette interdiction, que je ne suis pourtant apparemment pas le seul à croire en vigueur. Sans doute qu'empêcher la vente de vote est suffisamment garanti par l'isoloir. Bravo pour l’oeuvre d’art sur l’enveloppe !

I have never heard (except for one soccer play in 2002 or 2001 or 2000 I can not remember)such a silence on our roads and streets in my place. Never ever. "We know what we leave, we ignore what we may find..." so.. Sainte Prudence will say .. Safety first. Thanks a lot for your post ! Today is also Sainte “Prudence” name day.

It might have been the case at some point in a long distant past, but it's clearly not the case anymore. But the reason candidates failed almost to confront the hard choices ahead about the economy, has more to do with the fact that there's only much they can do about it. They virtually don't matter, simply because they have little impact on the economy, so it's easier to brag about fears and endless, impossible promises. But you can say that about the US as well and many other countries. Love the blog btw. Take carE. Hi Michele,

I'm completely amazed she has survived emotionally and mentally, from all she and her family endured. That's not to say everything about her husband's reign was perfect. I haven't studied that enough to know but have heard some bad things. However, he did repent and spoke publicly that he would make reforms. But for this woman to survive so much grief speaks volumes about who she is emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Grief is a killer and I think it's what took her husband's life. She is a woman of incredible strengths and who has the grace of God upon her life. I pray she can find some peace and joy in life. I pray that her grandchildren and remaining children bring much joy to her life. I admire her greatly for loving her country and it's people. I still hope for freedom to the Iranian people, who need so much. May God work miracles in their behalf. I know He is hearing all of their prayers. I am praying too, as an American Christian who cares for their hardships. But let us consider that to have food to eat and a roof over ones head is something to be very thankful for these days, even if one is forced to wear a scarf in public. It could be far worse and is for many. I have been studying this amazing woman. I’m completely amazed she has survived emotionally and mentally, from all she and her family endured.
