May Slipped Away

Where did it go? May, one of the best months of my year, slipped right through my fingers. I didn't even get to hold it.

Only seven dry May days. Unusual and nicely saturated, but I still complain.

Under clouds for many days and weeks affects my spirit.

And life is tiring, complicated
when most of it goes on inside a windowless office.

There’s much to tell but it will have to wait.

Until August, eleven-hour work days away from home will be a way of life. The wait is too long so I spend my short lunch break driving home to allow them a business trip. Old Chloe appreciates it. We’ll adjust to our prize at the end of the week - Fridays off.

There’s a bit of hummer action to cheer me up. When I’m ready to call it a day, they remind me to bring out the camera.

The occasional male or two I see are busy with courtship rituals and guarding nectar. I love that 180 loop.

Visited the large pond to find a Belted Kingfisher, but no…

Growing. Been busy planting between rain showers.

Backyard and pond are very alive.

All of the above saves me. Every day.

Looking forward to June!

Perhaps I’ll find time to slow down and sit on the porch.

Pedicure.

Iced tea.
