I’m finally getting to commenting on your lovely “Sunny Optimist” of last week. This is to be short and simple...my sunrise is a bouquet of tulips living now on our dining table. I feel the childlike joy whenever I look at them. And the sunny, but crisp mornings are delightful! Thank you!!!!

It was unusual to have my granddaughter Elsie Mae all to myself for dinner last night. Her 8 year old wonder as we asked Siri a bunch of questions she couldn’t answer - what is your favorite dog? - we ended up reading this book together outside after dinner - elephant of surprise indeed - https://www.amazon.com/Interrupting-Chicken-Elephant-Surprise-David/dp/0763688428/ref=asc_df_0763688428_nodl/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312057607871&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=6772943772468840576&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9032130&hvtargid=pla-524536704959&psc=1 - also Amazon sent me The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse without me ordering it. Often it is the little things that fuel my optimism. Love to all - FireHawk
