Lily and Lights

Last night it was warm and we both needed a walk. We've been enjoying seeing the neighborhood lights glowing in the dark. I spotted a ceiling fan on top of the trash pile near the locksmith's shop. I saw 4 art deco looking frosted glass lampshades attached to a fixture. Bill dismantled them and we put them in plastic bags. We resumed walking Lily and our lampshades.

I tossed and turned with nightmares of bloody children. I tried to think of ice cream cones dancing like rockettes. Back and forth it went all night, bloody children and dancing ice cream cones. But this morning at 6AM I was saved by Carolyn Given's writing making me laugh. Amen. She is a national treasure. And the laughter is healing.
