Pat, I have not posted in years but was compelled to do so after your post. What beautiful prose! Your description of clouds inspired images from long, long ago. Have you written professionally? You should, if you are looking for something to kill time while at the Towers, or any other place. I would buy what you write. By the way, your tag line about keeping words sweet is something I've used for years; may I have your permission to continue doing so? Best wishes from the left coast.
