Sunday- Heard a screech owl this morning as I sat, making his screeching but then the quieter, soothing, burbling sounds. Today is the annual block party and there are thunderstorms.

Monday- No block party, rained out, and I’m left with two sinfully rich Texas sheet cakes I baked for the gathering.

Tuesday- Sheet cakes no problem, I brought them to work and they disappeared. On another topic, I am heartened by the Wall Street protesters. Maybe there is hope, maybe we’re not all dumb and blind, maybe there’s still free speech and representation for living, breathing people- time will tell.
