Rose garden

Rebirth
Four days
Her petals furled
Gainst chilling wind and rain.
Came sun, and rose disclosed her heart
Pure gold.
-Emma Berthelot

What a change to wake up to clear, blue skies this morning. By 4 am (don't ask) the first birds were already yammering and it was getting light. After all the rain, it will be a day of lawnmowers and power tools in this neighborhood. We decided to take a little drive to the foothills and check out Snoqualmie Casino. Will we come home rich?
