No threat of any Easter Bunnies eating these flowers...

That’s the Christmas cactus about to bloom!

E.B. better keep the hares away from my blooms...

gunpowder, rum and tattoos...

warning...do NOT try this at home

Arrrrrgh

St. Augustine March 2011

Pirates added gunpowder to rum as a proof test.

If the gunpowder and rum mixture did not ignite,

it was under proof—watered down rum.

Arrrrrgh

Blackbeard the Pirate is the most famous consumer of gunpowder rum.

Gunpowder and rum were also used by pirates to create tattoos.

Arrrrrgh

Nowadays it’s safer to stick with

Captain Morgan’s Tattoo brand rum...

and a monogrammed tattoo in thread

Disclaimer…

I don’t imbibe Captain Morgan’s while thread tattooing
