May Day, May Day!


Though much of the world pays tribute to labor issues on May 1, I prefer to go the pagan route and pay tribute to flowers with this whimsical topiary, Puppy, by Jeff Koons.

Flora, fauna, and art—a holy trinity, in my mind.

But wait!

Today al
so happens to be a festive occasion for the racing- and betting-inclined. It’s the 136th Kentucky Derby.

Though I’m opposed to racing and refuse to gamble, I do love horses and hats.

Today offers a little something for everyone. Take what you will.
