Heavenly bodies


We had rain and a mild thunderstorm on Thursday, and a rainbow!

Flowers after the rain...

Heartleaf Arnica


Pansies
Crabapple!
This morning the bumblebees were buzzing around it. We will have lots of crabapples.


II
Loveliest of trees, the cherry now
Is hung with bloom along the bough,
And stands about the woodland ride
Wearing white for Eastertide.

Now, of my three score years and ten,
Twenty will not come again,
And take from seventy springs a score,
It only leaves me fifty more.

And since to look at things in bloom
Fifty springs are little room,
About the woodlands I will go
To see the cherry hung with snow.
--A.E. Housman, from A Shropshire Lad


It's 70 degrees at 2:15 pm, clouds and sun.
