Up Early

It's windy this morning. We are supposed to be having thunderstorms today. Outside my window everything is still dark, but I can hear the tree branches blowing.

I'm not really sure why I've been waking up so early in the mornings lately. I'm not sleeping well, although as far as I can remember I haven't been having nightmares, either. I'm grateful for that.

A friend wrote me yesterday that she'd just re-read Pride and Prejudice and watched the movie. She made some comments about Mr. Darcy that were along the lines of what I was saying here on my page a few months ago during the Firth Frenzy. This isn't someone who reads my site. This Mr. Darcy thing seems almost universal.

Anyway, right after I got her e-mail, I got this one from Amazon.

Greetings from Amazon.com.

Qty Item

1 Pride and Prejudice (BBC TV Miniseries) DVD Special Edition

I ordered this new special edition DVD several weeks ago, but it was just released today (I'm not sure how they shipped it a day early). Anyway, I can't wait to get it.

The picture of the flower is one Marty took yesterday up in Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts. He took his dad and Linda to see the Bridge of Flowers, which we first visited back in July. He took some gorgeous pictures yesterday. I'll post more of them soon.
