52 Weeks As I See Them: 18–22
May 2025 Edition
May. It got all mixed up with April in these parts. April was sunny and warm. Beautiful, early snapdragon blossoms filled the half-barrels on my deck. We were able to get into the kitchen garden without having our shoes sucked off by the mud, to get plants and beds started for the growing season.
May brought the showers, at times so heavy we had to corral the snaps to prevent them from being pelted to smithereens.
The way light and time bend at this time of year became ever more apparent with each passing day, and all of a sudden, it’s about to be June, and before long we’ll be heading away from the long, lingering days of Summer. It all moves so fast!
All the more reason to find delight in the details, reflect on the beauty of life, and share good energy with all the people you meet!
18-It’s all in the details. Interpret that as you will.
The amount of attention to detail involved to keep this metal plate sculpture of a sea turtle intact is impressive. One wrong cut and a piece of body, or shell, would be missing.
