My good friend, Lydia Wells Sledge, has gone off and left me, and all her other friends, special causes and charities and I'm SOooooo sad about it. It was a beautiful day and I know she would have enjoyed it.

The Daffodils preceeded the crocus by several weeks, but they're finally here. See upper right.

I've started "yelling" in my sleep. The last episode I kept telling someone in no uncertain terms, "I want you to be quiet!" My "nightmares" seem to take the form of teaching or directing (Hey kids, let's put on a play!) multiple little or younger people.
