MAY DAY ~

CHEERS TO MAY DAY FOR EVERYONE!

24 degrees this morning at 6AM., and DSL is down. I see Sweetheart out in red parka with the field and Cutie Pie transfixed, as always, with moving water. We've had moving water everywhere this spring around the world. In many places deeply tragic, even murderous. Here it's snow melt, spring declaring, woodlands running streams. We've been hiking over water and in with water every day on our hikes in the woodlot. For two months in our roads of travel. The cord of cut or split maple I thought we'd have carried down by hand from the woodlot come April Fool's wasn't kidding. We're still bringing it home in canvas sacks on May Day. Good thing too with the weather holding a chilled edge. By noon some days have us in its warm embrace.
