meirwen_1988It is May Day. Lady Day. Beltain. All good things. I am wearing spring green. I am smiling. On the outside.
Coming back from Wampsville this morning (whew--one thing checked off the stress list) I noticed the trilliums are in bloom along the highway. Good things.
Tonight I go with Duchezz and the Wonderful Jane to a Grand Matron's visit, wearing the new gown I got on sale (SIZE 6!!) and Duchezz will be wearing the gown I found for her, that she loves. Happy Anniversary, a little early, sweetheart.
Tomorrow we come home, get the dogs, and with luck, I will be able to watch the Derby. Not wearing silk taffeta, as I did 18 years ago, the first Saturday in May.
Not wearing a crown of flowers.
Not surrounded by friends, and joy, and hope.
But the jockey's granddaughter will watch the Derby, with a Duchezz, and pugs, and kitties, and bourbon.
Lots of bourbon, perhaps.
And still, there is love.
"And the greatest of these is love."
