Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

Well, we trudged up the hill this morning and voted.  On our way back, my husband said he felt like he was never sure his vote was really counted.  He had been set to vote by mail, but his ballot didn't come, so they made him do all this rigamarole to make sure he didn't vote twice.  His vote will be held back to see if his mail in ballot surfaces.  I told him all these methods have flaws.  It's so complicated.  It didn't help that the first person looking for our name and address was so elderly that everything flummoxed her and she couldn't find anything.  It did not inspire confidence.  I know, she was volunteering, but still.  The voting, the drought, the coronavirus; what a spring!  I'm going to attempt to put all the bad news to the side and Enjoy the sun, the birds singing and the blossoms.  So what if it causes hay fever.  I'm already sick anyway!
