AH, HA!! IT'S FOUR O'CLOCK in the afternoon, and the sun just came out! I think I'm grinning from ear to ear! It seems almost too good to be true! The copper beech tree is dancing like a ballerina. The fillies in the meadow are kicking up their heels. I'm going to turn off the kitchen light ( Dear Reader, it was dark as mud all day up until now), put on my walking shoes, and go for a walk!

(Nevermind; it's four-fifteen. It's raining again)
