:: about an hour ago i was washing the dishes. there was a knock at my back door. a stranger (without a dog) opened the door to tell me she had never seen anything as beautiful as my garden and she thought i should know. i told her it made my day.

:: a storm is brewing and they say this heat wave will break bringing in cooler temps in the 70s.
