A straight-up dose of reality...

Two straight day of rain. Thunder came down through the night, and all but sat in our laps. Sounded like it does up in the mountains. Close by.

Grass looks happy, and to the best of my knowledge none of the flowers have died or been trampled down by hail. So that’s good.

Spent the day in Denver, visiting my uncle. Not holding out hope he’ll make it a whole lot longer. Had an episode just as I was walking into his room. Took three nurses 20 minutes to get him across the room into his bed. Read a short story to him, then visited a bit. But didn’t stay a long as I’d have liked. Had to leave early owing to the threat of snow on Monument Hill.

Back home now, exhausted.

Ready for a quiet night.
