Today it’s cloudy and dark out. It rained all night. There is only a sprinkle going on out there now but you should see my formerly “billowing” plaid gypsy sail. It’s drooping over the porch swing with the excess lying underneath in a soggy drippy puddle.
Whatever chic-ness it possessed yesterday has definitely given way to the shabby. Rachel A. would be appalled.

I’ve just heard about the possible execution of American prisoners of war. My heart is breaking. Thank God Fox News has not aired the footage….yet. They may not do it at all. But if they do, I will do my best to avoid it. This kind of brutality I don’t need to see.
It does not surprise me that these people would not obey the Geneva convention.
And unfortunately for them, this will only make our resolve more firm.
Something occurs to me today. Just imagine this kind of tension that we are all experiencing, lasting 5 years. This was WW II. Do we have the courage to stay the course for that length of time? We shall see. But I do know, that if we do nothing, the madness will overtake the world. Terrorist madness.
My Cherry 7 Up bottle is giving me precious little comfort today.

Went to the nursery. Bought some peppermint and Irish Moss and a few other little plants. I looked carefully at some catnip starts. But decided that I have enough trouble with cats in the backyard without adding drunken cats to my woes. So I passed it up in favor of some gladiolus bulbs. Pink ones.
Have been cleaning out one corner of the garage for about an hour. Oy. I need a hug…. I wish I had a dumpster to tip the whole mess into. It would be such a load off my mind. If I could just get my mind to stop working at the garage door, that would really be something!
The day turned quite pleasant. Warm and partly cloudy. I think I will go work in the garden for a while, to get the garage out of my system…
