Good morning to our hostesses.

May Blessings and Light fall gently upon you all on this fine day of grief and joy, worry and hope. Thanks again for a good cup of coffee.

Hello to the Dutchess, glad to meet you and Mr. D and your little ones. Thanks for all your inspiring good works in the real world, and your inspiring good words here in the cyber world.

Morning to you, jw. The news of another shooting in VA is chilling. I pray they catch that murderer soon - to think that one isn't even safe walking across the grocery store parking lot, or filling his gas tank or the school yard, even being afraid to go out in your own front yard. It's realizing how far away he can be and still zero in on his victim without ever being seen that is so terribly frightening.

Hello, finest FRiends. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods.

Fall arrives late in the central valley, but we're beginning to feel a chill in the morning air. Soon the tule fog days will arrive.
