“Every cloud has a silver lining, but it is sometimes difficult to get it to the mint.”
— Don Marquis (1878 – 1937)
American humorist, journalist, and author
Three wildfires continue to burn in our little western NC county. Firefighters are working tirelessly… yet again… to protect lives and property. (We are safe.) Some homes have been lost. The air is at times challenging to breathe.
And yet, when the breezes blow in the other direction, our sky is bright blue. Hope is in the air. Our peach trees have blossomed.
And the first iris blooms are joining us. Hope. May we never let it go.
