A break in the rain

Margie: “I love being outside. Look at that sky, those winter trees! And nothing between me and them.”

We've changed our meeting time to Wednesday. Today Margie forgot her hearing aids, and that turned out to be fortunate, as our little outdoor coffee place was surrounded by utility trucks digging, banging, beeping, and scraping. Fortunately I’m trained in voice projection; good exercise for my diaphragm.

A young man spotted her aged beauty and surreptitiously snapped a photo. As he did so, I whipped out my camera and made one of him. He was delightfully shocked.
