Day 1664: DNC

More self-inflicted damage and highly recalcitrant Bernie supporters have marred the first day of the convention.  Absolutely maddening!

My solution?  Revel in the rainstorm that passed through this morning, swim a long time, make a couple dozen phone calls for the reunion, take a lovely evening walk and read one of my favorite books of all time. All Creatures Great and Small by James Herriott was published in 1972.  I've read it at least five times before and absolutely love it.  It's the story of a young country vet in the highlands of Britain in the year 1938.  The collection of charming stories recounts so many humorous and poignant moments in his daily life as he traveled throughout his district.  Many times I laughed till I cried at the anecdotes.  The perfect remedy!

Solar Flare


Each day there are fewer blossoms and I know the days of lovely lilies are nearly over. Considering the extensive, long-lasting drought, they have been exquisite.
