It is Sunday and almost late afternoon. It was raining before sunrise,and it is still raining now. The rain is falling steadily, as it has all day. No one in these parts ought to complain as it has been a long while since we have had a rainy day-and besides, rain makes the loveliest sound.

I have at long last, attended another "early service". Week days do not afford such luxury. There is too much commotion on days like Tuesday, at the rabbit patch.

What's not to like about a rock 'n roll concert at an intimate venue? One that's easy to get to, with free parking, and a drinks truck offering fun mixed drinks along with wine and beer?

Sunday is another time I love-especially the morning, when "Sunday Dinner" is cooking. I did not plan to write in the diary this morning, but when I had put the ham in the oven and stringbeans on the stove, all sorts of thoughts came to me.
