First Blossom

... on the almond trees across the Lane. 

Glad we went on an earlyish walk becaue spent the rest of the day making decisions and booking flights for Mike and I - to England for birth of grandchild and then to our biennial conference in southern Spain - there were a lot of factors to consider, but think we've made good decisions in the end. Must say, I would far rather dig a trench in the rain than make these sort of decisions, it's wearing.

Gratefuls:
- loads more rain, accompanied by loud thunder that woke us in the night
- rainbows when the sun poked through the clouds
- juice from our tangerines, even better than fresh orange juice
