The world isn't such a sweet place today

News of the bombings at the Boston Marathon bring sadness at the state of a world where people plan to kill other innocent people. Prayers go out to the families of the dead and to the victims of yet another senseless tragedy.

Lilacs in May

 

It's rainy today but Lilacs are blooming in the yard so I don't mind.

Simon and Macque made it all happen.

Sunday was May Day and the Fremont Arts Council had their annual celebration with the community. There was a Green Man who selected his May Queen from available maidens. There was frolicking and dancing, there were ribbons and children and gunny sack races and flowers in hair. It was delightful and the weather cooperated with a warm sunny day. Here are some photos.
