Locust tree in UV

Today is the calm before the storm of two days of grandchildren birthday parties. It has been an awful day and I grabbed this blip before the beginning of the awfulness. Now that I have had two really awful events and a couple of semi-awful things happen also this week, now I am waiting for two shoes to drop since bad things come in threes. I just wish it would happen so I can get it over with, or maybe not. Maybe all of the stuff adds up to 3 bad things.
I give thanks for being alive today, because even an awful day is better than no day at all.
