The cool, damp air smelled delicious as I ambled up the gravel road. I've been up and down ladders and scaffolding for exhibit construction lately, and so I haven't had the energy for big bike rides in the afternoon. That's fine. I will still be able to bike once the mosquitoes hatch, but I won't be able to walk slowly without a head net.

When the blossoms of a honeysuckle bush caught my eye, I was even happier for my slow pace. I stopped to admire the prismatic raindrops caught under each flower's chin.
