Summer weather is arriving early today. The red, blurry orb of the sun is slowly, rising over the local hill. I can look directly at the sun’s disc\u00a0 directly through the haze, but soon our friendly neighborhood star will be blazing away for the rest of the day.<\/p>\n
Quiet Rustle, my cat, is taking the whole scene in from the vantage of my lap. My coffee is holding out and everything is good for the next several minutes before I have to get up and go to work.<\/p>\n
And that’s when I notice the rhododendron outside the window.<\/p>\n
I have a sinking feeling because the blossoms are just past prime and I wanted to get a picture.\u00a0 Wait! I wanted of picture when the buds first popped!<\/p>\n
This is another reminder life keeps moving.<\/p>\n
Maybe next year!!!<\/p>\n
