“at last came the golden month of the wild folk–
honey-sweet May, when the birds come back,
and the flowers come out,
and the air is full of the sunrise scents and songs of the dawning year.”
― samuel scoville jr.

All is well. Just seem more tired in the mornings lately. Too many surgeries, I think.
