May Flowers and Updates
May is in Bloom!
That old rhyme wasn’t kidding when it said April showers sure bring May flowers. The Pacific Northwest looks like Pride float at Mardi Gras, and the pollen is thick. A yellow-green tint coats everything that stands still longer than five minutes. Everyone has the sniffles and red, itchy eyes, but the tradeoff is lovely; flowers everywhere!
I truly love how lush Oregon is this time of year. It reminds me of Kauai’i and its green canopies creating living tunnels over the roadways, and air so fresh air you could slap it. I’m almost sad to leave. Almost.
In five weeks, we will complete our move to Missouri. I’m both excited and dreading the cross country drive with two high strung cats. At least I have a rocking play list planned. There’s also this little insect situation. You may have heard. It’s been in the news.
The duo emergent cicada broods are in full effect in Missouri. One can find abandoned exoskeletons stuck to every surface and hear their ruckus from miles away.
I hope the winged deluge will have quieted before my son arrives. He is of the bug-phobic nature.
Missouri will offer both welcome and unwelcome changes.
