Like the ambiguity of the weather in March,
do you ever wonder why…
there is no ham in hamburger,
or no egg in eggplant?
Do you ever wonder why…
Chili is hot
and being hot is cool?
and if we say, “She sees a lot,”
does she see much or a piece of land?
Have you considered why…
when the stars come out, they are visible,
but when we turn the lights out, they are invisible?
The ambiguity of this existence
we call life.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
Abstract Watercolor done with Brusho Crystal Colours: Β Earth, Light & Wind
A lovely abstract watercolour Jodi! I can solve one of life’s mysteries for you – hamburgers are named after the German town of Hamburg, hence the name and why they don’t have ham in them!

I love what you did with those colors, Jodi! And given the March weather we’ve had here, they are absolutely perfect for this month. And seriously, why is there no ham in hamburger? Shouldn’t it be called a beef burger? Now I’m going to be thinking about that whenever I order one!

I love the watercolor to go with the quote! And we will be having one of those March weather days here. I plan on planting my cold-hardy primrose today while the sun shines on the planter box. π

You were quite funny and entertaining filling in our “blanks!” Thanks, Jodi. You are younger than I am but possibly you know who George Carlin is. These humorous truisms reminded me of him. π π
