Autumn is my season; I mistrust Spring with all its showiness and flightiness. Its sneeze-inducing smells and its precursing the dreaded heat of Summer.

Wow, you really do have some sun. We're still in grayland, but the crocuses are making splotches of color against the mud, intensely orange and purple, with the occasional white flower. The snowdrops are lovely as well. We don't get daffs until well after May begins. I'm waiting, though!
