The First Days

First comes first; the clouds dark and relentless, hanging around as long as the sunlight beams down. The next day, there are dark clouds and rain, the 4th of May, of the year 2017, in a land known as Michigan. The high is 42 degrees. The forecast looks grim, with highs all week only reaching the mid 60's or not even, with the first frost of the spring likely in the morning of Saturday to Monday!
