     Only nine dead leaves left on the old apricot tree in the back yard. The ground is covered with vibrant young green sprouts.  This morning the sun is shinning and the neighborhood is glistening with moisture. Puddles are drying up on the driveway.

     I frequently check my emails to see if the latest pathology test is back.  I am waiting although I expect it to be good news. I am an optimist so, of course, I always am surprised when not good news happens. I am not sure about bad news, sometimes, it is good news somewhat disguised.

     I have been near tears reading DEAR EDWARD. Tears that are welcomed.  It is hard for me to cry so when I actually do cry it is a relief.

     We watch the exciting breaking news about the failures of the president. Maybe change is about to happen.  We also watch episodes from two different shows, DEATH BY LIGHTENING and PLURIBUS. Both good enough series.
