After Monday’s rather miserable cold, windy and rainy day, Tuesday dawned as one of those great to be alive mornings.

Last weekend’s weather forecast gave me a bit of angst.

I had another minor freeze last week but the dahlias are still not dead.

I’m not one to ever complain about rain. I firmly stand by that statement after following the week’s news about all the wild fires in California — what a nightmare for those people.

Rew, Pennsylvania had basically one street. We lived in the center of town, so to speak.

I was surprised after the days-long wind and rain last week that there was not nearly as much tree and plant damage as I feared.
