May in the Year of Storms and Strife
In a rambling essay, May is described as a month of transition bringing high water for trout fishing, windy days for golfers, and a busy scene of garden chores, repairs, and a looming music and art festival that twists into household slog and temperamental fits. The writer riffs on anticipation, disappointment, and the bustle of spring activities.
