Do You Feel Lucky?
Last weeks flowers to brighten up this somber post Hello to you and good morning. It's a somber day today, the remembrance of what happened 20 years ago sits with me. Not heavily, but certainly present - certainly thoughts of where I was when I heard the news, I can see it in vivid colors …

So, officially we ended up with .41 inches of rain yesterday. At one point Joe says to me "Can I coax you inside?..." I said "not yet, I only have a few more things to do, besides, I'm not DRIPPING wet"....I think the heavens took that as a challenge?! I was wet to the bone …
