Something nice
For some weird reason, it seems like almost everyone I read something from yesterday, and also much of today, has been smacked with the Bad Times Stick.
It's not much of an antidote, but I have a little pic of something surprising I found in our peach tree.
You might say, "Susan, WHY is it odd to find a peach in your peach tree?"
Well, this IS southeast Colorado, famed for Extreme WeatherZ. It seems like every year, any blossoms that come get hit by snow or frost. And if somehow a peach or two DOES grow, the grasshoppers find it and eat it. So this is a VERY RARE PEACH, even though it is a little squashed up against the branch and probably would not have won a prize at the county fair even if we had noticed it in time.
But still. A peach!
I hope it is a harbinger of better things to come for all of us.
