A wet morning, which was not forecast, is slowly giving way to partial sun. The cool of the day is transitioning to warmth, which will move on tomorrow to just plain hot and humid. Jennie’s gardens are aflight with birds which she says is a mixed blessing. The foxgloves she planed a couple of years ago are spreading and bring joy to the yard, showing vibrant pink against the deep greenness of things.

I found myself heartened by the profoundly personal and moving responses to my last post. If you have not done so as yet, I highly recommend a read through the comments as I found reading them so deeply healing and encouraging. My heart rose as I read them. So much insistence on being kind and response in the face of craziness!
