It's a beautiful day in Colorado this morning. The temps have dipped and we're having a little rainy spell. So nice. I sat in our backyard this morning drinking in the solitude. My mother had hip replacement surgery this morning. She's 90 years old. I was worried about her, but being in the garden helped calm my nerves. Nature has that effect on me. I got a call a few minutes ago -- the surgery went well. So relieved...
