Rain was forecast for Easter Sunday. It didn’t rain at all. Instead the air was warm, the sky—a soft blue with wisps of white clouds.

Trash day has arrived again, as it has every Tuesday, every other Tuesday for recycling. They've changed the pick up day from Monday to Tuesday in our zone, which I like. I didn't dislike putting the trash out on Monday but I prefer Tuesday. Monday is the work week's start, the resumption of...

A friend sent an email that contained a lovely word:
雨宿り (あまやどり: taking shelter from rain) rain + shelter

Slept wonderfully last night and this morning to the sound of rain.
In the afternoon, I wrote an Email to Daughter Miranda, and sent a birthday card to her son, my grandson, Nicholas Bruce Holmes. Later, the results of the South Carolina Primary began to come in. ...
