The fall blooming anemones are very happy that it rained all
night last night.  Steven and I even did a short walk in the rain, 

and believe me we were the only ones walking.

The beautiful crest of magnificent white anemones are
breathtaking.  And on a day when I had to spend hours
on the phone and in person trying to solve a false bank charge
 -- seeing them when I came home made me happy.

The huge heat this summer meant we didn't complete our garden 
this year.  But the anemones have done their thing. A friend
warned me that anemones are invasive, and this year my 
neighbour is glad that they've invaded her garden too. Right
now they are taller than me at 5'4 inches -- probably six feet.

They are so incredibly beautiful that every time we look out
the back door, or sit and drink coffee on the back porch we
feel reassured that somehow things will turn out right.

A miracle in the current world.

Have a loving your life day!
