12. A yet will be a whole
    new beginning

13. Roiling and blowing storm clouds do suit the tense air and atmosphere of today’s society. Mom would say, we are “on pins and needles!” I like your keeping us aware of the anniversary of the Charleston rally, Merril.

    • Thank you, Robin!

      • Sure, glad you liked this and I love rainbows!

      • Who doesn’t? 🙂

      • Well, my Mom disliked the rain! 😉 Kids waiting to go in a pool do, too. Ha ha! 🙂
