May
April is done and May has begun, April showers will bring May flowers...and hopefully a bit more warm and a bit less rain. The forecast looks good here at the Refuge for the next week, lots of sun and temperatures in the high 70's to low 80's, at least until Saturday when the rain reappears. This assumes, of course, that the weather-guessers have guessed right this week.
And since the weather is giving promises of summer, here is the Redhead of the Month for May:
Here's hoping she is dressed appropriately for the month.

Catching Up
The Florida part of our trip went very well, the liquid sunshine took a break and the girls loved M, as I knew they would. Or more to the point, the girls loved how happy I am since M came into my life, which amounts to the same thing. We got in some beach walking and touristing as well, so all in all it was a good trip.
But wait, there's more. The later part of the week is being spent in Pennsylvania, where M is from, at her parent's house. Her mother is deeply appreciative of how I treat M so already I've made a good impression on her, and her dad isn't quite the curmudgeon that M says he is (either that or he's on his best behavior).
For the next couple of days we will be wandering to and fro about the Pennsylvania/West VA countryside as M and her mom enjoy each others company. My job is to fetch and carry and generally show her parents that I will be good to their daughter. I can handle that.
On the way up we passed by Pilot Mountain, which is near Mount Airy NC. Youngest Son saw it and immediately announced that it looks like a nipple.*
He's right, you know. It does. And now that I've seen it, I cannot un-see it.
At any rate, this brings us to the final but by no means least important item on the agenda, the Redhead of the Month:
April's ROTM is brought to you by Europe. It has to be good for something after all.
And with the necessities out of the way, I'm back on vacation. See you next week!
*I'm shrouding myself in the illusion that Youngest Son recognizes the nipple from TV or the internet, and have instructed him to leave my illusions intact.

Historical
So it was a pretty good election day for the Republicans, not so much for the Democrats.
The Republicans picked up eight seats in the Senate, sixteen additional House seats (18 new ones minus two losses), and added four new governors as well. When the new Congress is seated in January it will be firmly in Republican control once again. Time will tell if they have the sense to hold it this time.
Everyone is talking about that, but there are a few things that it seems no one is talking about. Historical things, things that are happening for the first time ever.
One of those things is the election of a black man from the South, Senator Elect Tim Scott. He is not the first black Senator from the South, there have been others that were appointed in the years following the Civil War, but he is the first one elected to his position.
In the Congress Utah now has a solid Republican bench, re-electing three and adding one, Mia Love, who becomes the first black Republican woman ever.
Elsewhere, in New York Elise Stefanik becomes the youngest woman Congressperson ever and Senator Elect Joni Ernst is the first woman veteran elected to the Senate, and with that my birth state of Iowa now has two Republican senators for the first time in as long as I can remember.
Not bad for a bunch of sexist racist mouth-breathing gun-toting sister-swapping rednecks (and those are some of the more polite names I have been called).
And on another note so long/good riddance to the junior Senator from North Carolina, Kay Hagen, who was unable to win over Republican Thom Tillis even though the Democrats poured more money into her re-election campaign than has ever been spent in any election anywhere in the US.
What makes this particularly special is...I don't even particularly like Thom Tillis, and neither do a great number of North Carolina gun owners who remember his duplicity in stalling gun related bills in the NC state house, but as long as he remembers to stay bought he should be OK.
And last but certainly not least, since it is November it is the month of Thanksgiving. In that spirit, I leave you with something to be thankful for, this month's ROTM.

July ROTM
I have been working all week so I didn't get a chance to put this up earlier. It amused me this month while perusing the web for suitable images that so many of them looked familiar...because they were links to this site, particularly the ROTM posts. Ah, what price fame...
At any rate, and without further ado, I give you the Redhead of the Month for July, the lovely Kimber Lee:
Happy 4th of July everyone!

Time
Twenty years ago today my first redhead was taken from this world by cervical cancer.*
I didn't deserve her for the short time I had her, and like a fool I walked away from her. This was long before her death, more than 10 years in fact. We were still in high school when I decided I didn't want to be "tied down" and I have since had plenty of time to regret that decision.
Today I remember her. Perhaps I will get the chance in the next life to admit to her what I never could in this one.
RIP Leonaye A. Bulger, 10 May 1966 - 31 May 1994
*I hate this disease. Damn I'm hard on my redheads, if the good Lord ever grants me another I will endeavor to take better care of her.

Oops!
It's May, and I have yet to post the ROTM!
So, without further ado, I give you...
Spring.
I don't have a name to go with the face, perhaps one of you do?

This Makes Me Sad
Pretty redheaded girls who have to take their own pictures. There should be some way they can get someone else to take their pictures so that they can just act natural...meaning, be beautiful.
Consider this an open offer ladies, I may not be a professional but I do know what buttons to push.
And while we're on the subject...what the hell is wrong with millionaires? Give me a couple of M's to toss around and watch me change that perception toot-sweet.
Picture obviously stolen from Bob at the Chive. Bob is a genius, he has redheads sending their pictures to him all the time. How do I get a gig like that?
