As I’ve written this, the Golden colour of the sunlight is turning to clear, bright clarity. This will soon give way to intense brightness and that is why I need to go to work. Summer will be here soon and trees are sparse in the fields.

It is just like when you were on the playground. You would be sent to school with a jacket and then have to be outside for 15-20 minutes 3 times a day. When the temperature is 28 degrees Fahrenheit and the wind is blowing, you seek shelter. You would huddle and sit in the warmest spots on the playground. Likewise in the late spring and summer, you would seek shady, grassy spots. Plants also prefer a better location although they are immobile.
