Wow, what a summer we've had and it continues as we put together Fall Flushed in early September. There were a few flushed faces around here as the temperature soared into the 90s day after day. Could it be that our extremes of climate make us more tolerant of diversity in other realms? Hope that you all survived and thrived this summer and are welcoming the coolness of autumn with peace and gusto.
