autumn surprise

Two of my hydrangeas are blooming.  I'm trying to relax and enjoy having my favorite bush bloom twice in one season, but Neel is so freaked out about climate change that I'll be scurrying to Google "twice blooming hydrangea" as soon as I hit "Publish."  I'll let you know what I find out.

oh no, oh no

Going to bed and waking up to horrible news and images from Minneapolis. Megs, my first thought was of your brother, is he okay? Sending lovingkindness out to the deep midwest.

Update: Megan's brother is okay, but Marianne, I forgot about your brother-in-law...any word?

Updated Update. Everyone I know of is safe, but oh how my heart goes out to those who are still waiting for news.
