Gorgeous day

Another beautiful day. Warm sun and cool ocean breezes. The low was 52°, and the high was 66°. Work was busy but flowing smoothly at the moment. This week is a short week because we get May Day off. It means some things will not get done. It'll be okay.

Yesterday we turned 19, and we plan to celebrate on May Day by going out to dinner.

Independent bookstores are doing well. YAY! Books are back. (Our local bookstore, Dog Eared Books, is THE place to be, and it seems to be a hot date night spot to boot.)

The bird of the day is the Allen's Hummingbird

Here is a poem for you.
