Goodnight friends! Another brief early taste of summer, 17°c, everything so bright it still seemed silver-edged even when the sun was half-smothered by isolated stacks of puffy white cumulus. More and more plants waking up and stretching, menacing fractal starbusts of thistle leaves, celandine flowers suddenly multiplying from isolated patches to broad swathes of buttery gold, miniscule flecks of white and yellow as common witlowgrass flowers open up, filament anthers beginning to reach out between tiny dark mahogany brown tepals of field wood-rush.
Some muscles still a little stiff and twangy, though I gently worked through things stretching on the pillowy, mossy grass and felt a bit better. Worrying slight raw feeling in the back of my throat again, another unlucky spring cold might be coming my way.
May we find rest and healing today!
