Friday the thirteenth, March, 2026 5:30 50F (10C) The rain has stopped.  It is dark and windy.

Overhead  strong west winds send the clouds racing by patches of stars.

On the ground,  blustery gusts grumble through the bare oaks making the trees dance and sway.

A nieghbor is walking their dog, both of them all lit up and carrying flashlights.

When Walter finally notices them he runs barking to the fence  but he settles down as they pass.

I’m drinking a mixture of vitamin C and zinc Amy left out for me as a cold preventive.

The taste is reminiscent of Tang or perhaps dusty oranges.The flavor is not improved by allowing it to go cold.

Good morning.
