Very envious of your Spring, with your fluffy umbellifers and fluffy doggies, here Down Under. Rain and wind lashing this evening.

Thankyou Lia for your brilliant gathering in. A lot of joy captured. And how is it May tomorrow? The ribbon is moving everywhere closer to the centre of the Almanac - eek!

It’s been so warm lately that it feels like summer, but reading this we really have had a spring. Gorgeous! Also, I’m afraid I googled peeper jingles and it’s true!

This is so lovely as usual! Flowers, sunshine, stars, warmth, that hits the heart...

(Though I was hoping to hear your voice in the audio...having an AI narrator is nothing compared to you reading the monthly poems!)

What blissful joy to read every one of those poetic phrases and visualise the unfolding of Spring in many dozens of ways and places - all beautiful. All noticed and enjoyed in the moment, recorded, and then shared like this, - so moving. Thank you!
