A day so happy.
Fog lifted early. I worked in the garden.
Hummingbirds were stopping over honeysuckle flowers.
There was no thing on earth I wanted to possess.
I know no one worth my envying him.
Whatever evil I had suffered, I forgot.
To think that once I was the same man did not embarrass me.
In my body I felt no pain.
When straightening up, I saw blue sea and sails.
Hi Laura,

Barbara

Oh, wow--that sky is really amazing, Laura! It's just about what I saw outside this afternoon--not this morning, mind you, but by this afternoon, that's about how it looked. Just lovely! Have a wonderful time--we'll miss you but look forward to your return!
