(morning writing, depression)

I know i was moody and depressed yesterday. I'd not sat out on the deck for morning light and haven't gone out for even a short walk for days. Christine is in a migraine flare and was also depressed. We both tried hard not to feedback on each other. I ended up taking Carrie for a nice walk and hope that that and sitting out this morning with birds singing in the fog that has settled down in the pines will help put me back on track. Both of our sisters have remarked on the gloom for the past week: it's not just us.  Mushrooms were everywhere in Fearrington's central park, but the drought status for the state  still has some sections in severe drought and much of the state abnormally dry. One town in the agriculture heavy coastal plain, Williamston, had it's 2nd driest June on record and is not on track to have it's second wettest July on record -- and no hurricane help for that.
