To use an old cliche, what a difference a day makes! Woke up to a temperature in the upper 60’s, and it was a nice walk. By the time I was ready to leave the house to check out Ft. Allen’s yard sales, it was windy and cloudy and raining. Took the draw out of hopping in and out of the car, so I changed course and went straight to Craftique. I met Mary Ann and Barb (fellow writers!) there and we had a nice hour chatting.
Found an interesting little weed popping up through a crack in the parking lot — determined little guy! Yards and yards of blacktop and there he was, standing tall and healthy, while the grass in my yard is burnt out in many spots. We should be like that: when life around us is dry and lifeless, and it’s a struggle to stand tall – just keep looking up!
No sermons to listen to today. I pulled some weeds, changed a string of burnt out lights on the deck railing, changed bed sheets, set chicken to marinate in Italian dressing, and visited with my cousin Deb for a while. The weather cleared up a bit but much cooler and more comfortable. Nice day!
On this day in 1960 To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is published. John Quincy Adams, our 6th president, was born in 1767, and in 1899 E B White (wrote Charlotte’s Web) was born. And my favorite brother in law is celebrating a birthday today! Happy birthday Paul!! Today is Cheer Up the Lonely Day, Blueberry Muffin Day, Pet Photo Day, and National Seven Eleven Day (free Slurpee). Have a great day – God bless!
