I wandered around the facility where my art quilt class was held and walked past this outdoor fireplace. It was still too hot for it to be lit, but I can imagine how much fun it will be in colder weather.

Lost to the Drought
We lost several trees to the drought this year. When spring came, our two peach trees had no blooms, no leaves; they remained barren. They’d been there 17 years and most of those years were in drought. It’s not easy being a tree.

Could Be Worse
Michelle couldn’t believe her eyes. She’d been inside all day working overtime on a Saturday in the office building’s basement, alone. Insulated from sound and without any windows, she had no idea the storm arrived, depositing flash-flood level rains.
She’d just have to wait until the waters receded. She sighed, Saturday night at the office? How pathetic!
She retreated to the break room. Still, she thought, it could be worse. I hate getting my shoes wet. She noticed the vending machines were full, having been restocked Friday afternoon. “Orange Hostess Cupcakes in slot B-13,” she squealed in delight, “my favorite!”
