Ready for Summer Vacation

Leaving for the Great Smoky Mountain states on Thursday, 8 June. I should be back on 18 June.

"My heart thrills like the wilding sap to flowers,
And leaps as a swoln brook in summer rain
Past meadows green to the great sea untold.
O month divine, all fresh with falling showers,
Waft, waft from open heaven thy balm for pain,
Life and sweet Earth are young, God grows not old!"

Theodore H. Rand, 1897
