Alexandria, Virginia. Last Tuesday night.
I even found the name of the church (Groveton Baptist) thanks to knowing I’d pulled into the Target parking lot just a few blocks from our Airbnb. Found it on Apple Maps.

We’ve had a lot of rain lately.
“Forecast models for May suggest roughly 98-158mm ((3.8\- 6.2\) inches) of rain, indicating a potentially wetter-than-average May”

“As of early May 2026, Ohio flags are flying at half-staff to honor three Ohio Air National Guard members—Sgt. Tyler Simmons, Capt. Seth R. Koval, and Capt. Curtis J. Angst—killed during Operation Epic Fury. Governor Mike DeWine ordered the flags at all public buildings and grounds statewide to remain lowered until sunset on the day of their funerals”

We are headed to Athens Ohio (not Greece) to celebrate and honor Anna who is graduating from college tomorrow.






My neighbor Sue gave me the Iris a couple of years ago. They are so beautiful. I worried the strong rain would beat them to the ground, that the blossoms would crumple. They stood tall. The petals like velvet.
