The last day of peace
85+ degrees here, one day only, many hesitant trees & bushes took the leap into blooming spring.
Not much energy for walk to branch library, all the more reason to do it, was rewarded with new novel by Elmore Leonard, & the latest Robert Randasi "Rat Pack" mystery, about a Sands pit boss named Eddie G. who gets into jams doing favors for his pals Frank, Dino, Sammy & Joey.
On the way back I treated myself to a White Castle "shake," the kind you eat with a spoon.
150 years, this was the last day of peace. The bombardment of Fort Sumter began on April 12, 1861.
"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be." Thomas Jefferson
