"The glacier knocks in the cupboard, The desert sighs in the bed, And the crack in the teacup opens A lane to the land of the dead."

Widow's Tears

A stand of Widow's Tears has sprung up in the garden, a testament to how wet this Spring has been.

On a vaguely related note, last night I heard a chuck-will's-widow in the woods, by far the earliest in the year I've ever heard one. Their call is the quintessential sound of a summer night.
Widows were the theme of the day, it seems.
