Good morning, Matthew. I was just thinking about you, wishing you well. And here you are.

This was a nice post to bring me out of the morning daze and into the day. And that photo of a scarlet finch (I cheated and googled it!) in front of the waterfall was magic. Thanks!

I enjoyed Way of Kings. The line about honour has stayed with me:

act with honour and honour will aid you.

True words.

Sorry about the hot water heater! But glad you can relax with the birds.

Nothing like looking up and seeing a ceiling dripping. It is the season of busy-ness - planned and unplanned.

I really enjoyed reading Sherman Alexie’s, "The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian." Thank you for that recommendation. I'm going to add Baldwin's book on my list.

You are always most generous with your kind recommendations, Matt. A thousand thanks. The Baldwin book keeps popping up into my eyeline so I’m taking your mention of it as a sign!

All thoughts of books have been pushed from my mind by the thought of a water heater in the attic! ;-) What's the rationale? How on earth does one maintain it easily...

I can sympathise entirely with unexpected expenses, I have also had three quite serious bills this month; my iPhone decided 6 years constant use was its absolute limit and just shut down, the head gasket blew on my car and I have an on going horribly expensive saga with my dentist! Roll on July and hope!

Take care Matthew, I hope your water heater problems are solved.
