I woke up this morning in my little attic room.  There were rain drops on the window pane.  Was it still raining?  I tumbled down stairs and out onto the deck to see.  Yes ... a shower coming in from over the mountain ... but it was only gentle  ... and no reason whatsoever to cancel my plans ( Read more... )
