Primroses in the garden and our five week old Amaryllis, first potted on January 12th.
I have been given the most beautiful book by a very dear friend who knows of my love of words of all kinds. It’s called “Ninety-Nine Words for Rain” and is by Manchán Magan with gorgeous illustrations by Megan Luddy. Expect to see lots of lovely Irish words over the next few months. 
As regular readers will know, Cornwall has had enormous amounts of rain and some vicious storms over the last couple of months and there are words here for every kind of rain. Here today, gleidearnach, which beautifully describes some of our recent rain.

Rain is in short supply here at the moment. Numerous counties in Florida are suffering from draught, of varying degrees.
If storms and hurricanes have a positive side to them, they are terrific rain delivery devices. If only they would “tone it down” some. 😀
