NSFW link [Heh.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCbD8nsxcd8) Was a tad cool today, but we braved it. Our backyard is totally fenced in and we’re on a hill. So the only ones that saw us were the 2 squirrels that ran through. Hope they weren’t thinking about gathering nuts! :eek:😛 ---

It’s my best friend (since K or 1st grade) anniversary. May Day (today) is the International Worker’s Day Mayday is an international distress call It’s easy to remember his anniversary because if I were married to her, everyday would be Mayday & not May Day. :eek: :o ---

There is Nothing New Under the Sun. See the madrigal “[Now Is The Month of Maying](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJ7VirCScp0)”, published in **1595** : Now is the month of Maying, When merry lads are playing, Fa la la la la la la la la, Fa la la la la la lah. Each with his bonny lass Upon the greeny grass. Fa la la, etc… And to the bagpipe’s sound The nymphs tread out their ground. Fa la la, etc… Say, dainty nymphs, and speak, Shall we play barley-break? Fa la la etc… So, you were playing barley-break in the greeny grass upon the trodden ground?
