Today we read about violence. The world is hurting, and some are placing a call to arms to defend . . . what?
I am signing off FB for awhile. Too much ignorance and hate, not enough meaningful discussion. Cute animals and TGIF memes just aren't cutting it for me this afternoon, either.
Instead, I am taking care of my own little corner of the world. A simple life. House work. loading up recycling -- since my tiny town just can't seem to embrace this concept, I have to drive elsewhere to drop it off myself for pete's sake.
Meanwhile, here are some of my GORGEOUS day lilies; I went wandering among them, in the steamy heat, to refresh my soul. Stop over to enjoy them; coffee's on.
For the rest of the day, I'm just gonna hang out in my own little peaceful, air conditioned world. A little sketching, reading, meditation. 
The hot, humid air wreaks of violent storms building. The atmosphere is heavy. So is my heart. . . . .
