As usually happens when we’re having fun, Michelle and Aly didn’t get enough photos taken of them at the “Royal Wedding” Luncheon benefit for the Chilkat Center Saturday. They got a few good ones, though.

They had a really good time. I guess the food was excellent.
Tonight is the new moon. If you’re reading Mary Oliver’s Twelve Moons as a lunar calendar with me, today is the day to read the poem, Spring. If you are familiar with our view of the seasons, you know I tried long and hard to fudge this one, to schedule a poem by this title before May 1st, which we regard as the beginning of summer. But it didn’t work out. As I mentioned yesterday, it’s probably just as well, considering that everything seems to be late this year. I also note, looking at the schedule I laid out in January, that there will be no poem on the upcoming first quarter moon.
