It's May Day! Things are green! Almost every tree now has it's buds open and leaves forming a flimsy new gown of green. The grass in the back yard already looks like it could stand mowing. The air is cool, the sunshine bright, the sky clear blue after yesterday's rain.

The organic Valencia oranges at Whole Foods are especially sweet and juicy.

I managed to walk around the block yesterday at a normal pace, and without tiring myself. This morning I was able to do some simple yoga. (I still hesitate at some of the more challenging moves.)

After watching Oprah yesterday (its topic was decluttering, and under the difficult condition of parting with things left behind by a child who died, and carrying a lot of emotional weight) I was able to sort out a large pile of books I can bear to part with. (Whether for resale or give-away.)
