American flags going up along Main Street in Brandon. Dandelion fluff in the air. One bumblebee in the crabapple tree outside my office. The petals have already mostly fallen away. There is a newly arrived load of wood for winter in Pete's back yard. Sheesh.
Flowers fall, despite our longing.
Weeds rise up despite our loathing.
