Flowers
How they share our
desires, shape
our days.
Passion to hope,
fingertips to
lips. Some bud
easily, others
struggle. A little
water, light, a kind
voice. Sometimes so
little achieves
so much. Yesterday’s
sunflower droops on
the sill. Today’s promise
arrives with rain.
O at the Edges 
A little rain would be MUCH appreciated around Austin!! Forecast says tomorrow maybe … meanwhile, 99 again today. We’re watching even zinnias struggle!

Also in Bathurst Australia they have gone to stage 5 rationing. Washing only on cwrtain days, fluishing toilet olny so many times per day, do not water garden, showers are restricted to one every several days. You can go to jail if they catch you.

Yes, and they are hsving the Bathurst Races there now and the influx of all those poepleis making it worse. I suppose they will be trucking water in – lets hope it rains soon.
