My lovely cousin Judy, in the bear hat that keeps her ears warm when she goes out on the porch to have a cigarette.

It was warmer in New York yesterday than it was down here, and the rain came down so long and so steadily that we were joking that there'd be a new bayou in the back yard by morning. The rain has stopped finally but it's gray and very very muddy, so the nature hike we thought we'd do today is postponed until tomorrow.
