OUR FRAGILE MIRACLE

The miracle of May is just around the corner! Shrubs are flowering and all of life renews itself. We have had more than our share of rain and cold weather however.

Last night's Birch Hill bonfire was abbreviated. The East win was chilling. I had underdressed for the occasion! Earlier in the day sunshine prevailed. I did sit outside and enjoyed the sunshine for an hour or so.

The forecast for the next few days isn't very encouraging. Hopefully next week's weather will be better.
