A paragraph about May
by Sam Campbell
“The very air seemed to quiver with beauty and merriment. The sun was already in the afternoon sky,
highlighting mountainous clouds which hung immobile at the horizon. And all the
far-flung beauty of the heavens lived again in the mirrored lake. . . . Graceful birches and sturdy oaks primped in the gathering evening light,
proudly displaying their tresses of new-born leaves. Tiny star flowers and dainty violets strutted and posed their prettiest on the woodland carpet. Pine trees
stood still and straight to add dignity to the scene. Juneberry blossoms flung their white beauty against the flaming color of the sky,” Too Much Salt and Pepper
