Volksmarch people are all over the neighborhood and make a beautiful sight. We still have an amazing show of tulips, both species and Dutch. Surprisingly, the overwintered trailing nasturtiums have produced at least a dozen blooms this week. Staying busy and constructive seems best at this time. It's been good to hear that W. is safely in Barranquitas, good to know that the tax returns are on their way, good to know that M., A., and T. got out of here and are back home while the getting's good. The daily page for today from "Strength for Service to God and Country: Daily Devotional Messages for Those in the Services" (copyright 1942) is entitled "On God's Side" and begins "It is one thing to have God on our side. It is a very different thing..." and goes on just as one might imagine.
