Droplets...

Heavy rain at times today and thunder and lightening - but very muggy! This poor rose took a beating in the rain but still looks beautiful. View on LARGE!

On a positive note I visited my friend in ICU today and was greeted with a big smile. She was awake having been taken slowly off sedatives. The ventilator is now in her nose so she is able to mouth words! She laughed, she smiled and for the first time in 10 days I saw signs of my friend as she should be. Many prayers have been said for her and they are working! Thank you to all my fellow blippers for your thoughts too. She has a long way to go yet but little steps will get bigger I am sure!
