May Begins

Another pretty pre-sunrise was noticed out the front window. After I awoke, it was a grand Day Off. The neighbors were absent, the weather perfect! Warm, 70F, n sunny with little wind- does it get any better?

So much green has grown this week. Leaves have sprouted on MapleBeard, the oaks across the road are pollenating. Some pale purple Lillies of the Valley are blooming early in one side yard. I spent several hours on some long put off yard work. Then I came in to watch the Kentucky Derby, which I always enjoy.

.

Today was the first in the last short stretch of vaca days I'll have off of work until after the summer season is all over. I have no special plans, other than catching up on things around the house, n dozens of projects all vieing for time, not the least of which is a little ones party.

Rent time has me seriously pinching pennies, so only low frills food n fun are on my menu. Mostly I want to sleep, play instruments, n get to more artwork. It'd be nice to feel recovered from work n allergies to do all this. The neighbors will likely return to annoy my home quietude n make my plans difficult again. Regardless, I'll enjoy not working for someone else several days in a row- I'm enough of a slave-driver to myself as it is...

Hope yours was a Happy May Day!
