>> I slept really well last night, and when it was time to get up, I

>> I went in and checked email, whereupon Buddy the Cat jumped in my  
>> lap for a

>> below our
>> building was awash in white blooms, as the several dogwood trees  
>> had popped
>> last night.   I took the camera over and made this exposure:

>> So that's the story behind how you got fresh flowers this morning  
>> despite my

exquisite Sonny,
