Bright and Dark

I have been woefully absent from my blog. Finishing up a semester at one college, teaching four nights a week at another, preparing two boys to go to one college while my daughter goes back and forth from her apartment at another college.
Today, I'm attending a funeral of my running friends Noreen, sometimes called Stephanie. You may recall that Noreen is the one who dealt with breast cancer by running, and running circles around us.
Noreen's mother died last week of cancer as well. My friend Pam and I will drive two and a  half hours to support Noreen, cause that's what friends do.
I'm wearing a coral colored dress because Noreen asked everyone to wear orange and black in support of her mother's favorite high school. I don't have orange, so coral will have to do.
So here's a picture of some sunflowers from our community garden. Hope you all have a terrific weekend.
