May 29: Bright, unfurled color

Sunshine is a welcome thing. It brings a lot of brightness. Jimmie Davis

Sunshine and warm days welcome the brightness of the season - all the colors seem to be crisp and magnified and exude excitement, jumping out the leaves, eradicating all memory of bare branches, and cold winter. At least we have short memories for things we don't enjoy as much, and can quickly become immersed in new bright life, knowing it will eventually come to an end, but being caught up in the necessity of enjoying it while it lasts.
