Poem for Monday and Tulip Town Tulips

Sigh No More, Ladies 
By William Shakespeare 

Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more.
      Men were deceivers ever,
One foot in sea, and one on shore,
      To one thing constant never.
Then sigh not so, but let them go,
      And be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
      Into hey nonny, nonny.

Sing no more ditties, sing no more
      Of dumps so dull and heavy.
The fraud of men was ever so
      Since summer first was leafy.
Then sigh not so, but let them go,
      And be you blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
      Into hey, nonny, nonny.

My Monday was fairly quiet till evening, since I had a bunch of work and laundry to get done. I also had an infuriating argument with an online friend, which I don't think the friendship is going to survive but I can't make myself care, though I do think for my mental health I will be spending very little time on social media for the foreseeable future. In the afternoon, we walked to the beach, where we saw one of the eagles, and out on the dock, where the ducks with ducklings were hiding, but we saw a bunny in the tall grass next to the walkway. 

We did a bit of shopping in the late afternoon, and to celebrate our one-year anniversary in Redmond, we went out for phở -- veggie for me, chicken for him -- and sweet drinks at Papaya Vietnamese Cuisine inside the big food court in Crossroads Bellevue. Then we came home and watched Anyone But You because I was in the mood for something absolutely mindless, and that fit the bill -- plenty of physical comedy, but trying to connect it to Much Ado About Nothing is laughable! Some Tulip Town blooms in Skagit Valley this weekend:
