Quick Change

Today was sunny with not a cloud in the sky - just the moon. The temperature rose to an unseasonable 85 F (29 C - I think!). It felt as if we had leap-frogged over spring directly into summer. But the lack of green leaves on the trees belied the truth. Only the lilac bushes were showing a few tiny new leaves. I’m almost ready to say winter is really over!

As your summer arrives, so ours is leaving.... Today I am cold for the first time this year. We had lovely thunderstorms (actually I get scared..) last night.

Hey Ronnie - when we're feeling sticky and overheated in a few months we'll think of you! Thanks for the global reminder!

It's getting a little greener each day Tonya. Hope your spring/summer settles in soon!

Roo - I'll swing by your blog to see the apple blossoms. Growing up, Chuck and I each had an apple tree in our respective backyards (half a continent apart!). They were grand!

Hey - all the best people had apple trees ;o) We had two, topped off with two pears trees.

I used to love picking the fruit with my father, and wrapping and storing it in his shed, in a set of old draughtsman drawers. The shed always smelled of apples
