Happy Canada Day!

We'll go to the cottage today. It looks like it ought to be nice for part of the day, anyhow. There's been a lot of rain, though not like in some of the Eastern States.

That "comparisons" line is from L'Engle? I'd heard it before but didn't realize it was from somebody famous. Good (if difficulty) advice, though, in either case....
