early summer

the Animal secretary...advice on buying the night sky...billows of aspen fluff...The Crow and The Mockingbird....slate blue clouds and sun....broken pipe overhead, the ceiling drips water & it splashes...hands are numbly and they're trying to paint stars...seeing how to paint the stars as we see them see...planting cleome and dill seeds, tall showy & pungent..hummingbird investigates the Egyptian onion blossoms...Mayjune.
