The day wore on, yesterday, the heated air hot and heavy.
bearing down on us and the land.
The sun gradually climbing higher and higher in the sky- taking from us any bit of shade.
By noon the shadows were gone, the heat ringed us in, and sat brooding, like a bad mood.
Then a blessing of a thin rush of air — first in starts and stops, then in little puffs, swelling in strength strong enough to cause the towels drying, on the line, to flap and fling themselves over the other wires full of clothes
The air cooled, as clouds rolled in, first in the east, then the south, finally in the west.
All the while the wind rose and fell whispering secrets to the earth; to those creatures and objects that can understand.
There was a hint of thunder a splattering of rain enough to rinse the air clean.
Boomer and I walked out upon the farm, hoping to see a rainbow.
Instead a shock of sunlight splashed in the north, for just a few minutes, leaving the world reborn.
From my heart to your world.

You should develop a photo-poetry book with lines like this: a shock of sunlight splashed in the north, for just a few minutes, leaving the world reborn.

I tried the book thing with Sherlock Boomer. I think I’ll just let my blog be my medium. But Thank you, anyway, for your belief in me.

It just dawned on me that you might not be aware of the Betsy-Tacy Society. Just google “Betsy-Tacy Society. org” for lots of info. It is a lovely group of women who have done incredible things. We bought and restored their two houses, and have worked to increase awareness of the books, and they are now being republished. They would be lovely for the Delta Library–hint,hint. Well, we have to keep up interest. I belong to the group in San Francisco, and there might be one close to you. They are now all over the world. Enjoy!

If you would like more information, please feel to email me and I will send my phone number. I’m better with phones than email. I think your granddaughters are the perfect ages for the books. They progress from age 5 to college.

It’s also extremely hot here in South Carolina, your words make me feel it, even as I sit in this air conditioned room. You truly have a way with words and your photos are jaw-dropping. Having my own farm out west is my dream, thanks for sharing! ❤
