Goodbye Sweet May!
Later Addition:
We have clear skies today, but the sky is completely white outside. That's due to dense smoke aloft from wildfires burning across western Canada. Here's a model graphic depicting current coverage of smoke aloft across the nation. The local National Weather Service office added the trace of Vermont, so you can see what we're dealing with here in NW VT. I am experiencing respiratory irritation. Sigh. I'm so grateful that we have heat pumps, because we were able to put them in Air Conditioning mode and at least freshen the air inside the house.
Clear skies today, but overall the wettest May in Chicago history.

ReplyDeleteWas found a whole entire dinosaur
with a footprint of a sandal in
its stomach. And a sober tooth tyger
with a song in his ear
The unicorns dead drunk on
pomegranate wine missed the boat
Did yaweh, wishing to sacrifice a son,
need to create a race of imperfect beings
whose future deeds would need atonement?
All, all things I need must know
before I can take a bowl of stew
to an elderly neighbor
which must be settled before
I comfort a weeping child
except the bread rises in its bowl
and needs attending to
Man, am I rapture-ready!

Drove up to the Bay Area with Naomi today; driving north an west we passed over the San Joaquin River, which was as full as I have ever seen it at that place, and just before that we passed over the river bypass, which is normally dry, but also had quite a bit of water in it. During the past couple of weeks the river just below our place has risen by at least three and maybe five feet. There is still snow on the mountains.
