Electricity is out (due to Irene), but computer is operating on battery and wireless Internet connection is working. Yay! This windowsill array is a collection of all sorts of things from days past plus some pale yellow zinnias, a sunflower, and a couple of stems of blue salvia. Outside the window a sheet of rain is coming down, and, because I have a couple of windows open (the better to hear breaking branches), there is cool air coursing through the room. Weather is the story of the day, but my arranging attention is all wrapped up in these yellow zinnias, which John brought home to me from Buckingham. Flower delivery on a hurricane-filled day:  how lucky can you get?
