8 Augrapes 2019 : Blog

Today the weather excelled itself. There was hail. I was so thankful I wasn’t out walking in that. Later the mere rain shower that did drop on my umbrella seemed trivial.

Really it has been a grey, grey day. Grey collendar pages work so well this month, so appropriate. It would be tempting to find an image of the date and leave it at that, just have the the rest of the page grey. But no! Not today anyway. As well as some Augrapes, tonight strawberries are on the plate. Just a few. Just for a change, some colour on the pancake, a preview of summer. So, with images of strawberries and tomatoes, most of the collendar page turned out to be red.

As winter slowly, oh so slowly retreats, spring is almost believable. Today I noticed sparse blossoms are appearing on flowering cherry trees.
