April showers bring May flowers

Last week a tornado hovered over Zurgovani.  For seven straight days the banshee wind howled outside our window all night long.  Doors slammed by themselves and even the 20-foot walk from the front door to the car was a struggle against gales determined to knock us over.  We were stuck inside even when the sun was out, and when the sun wasn't out, it rained.

And then on Saturday morning I looked out the window at the hill behind our house.  The grass wasn't moving.  And it was sunny.  And warm.

Since then, we have spent almost all our waking hours outside.  The wind still blows, but with temperatures in the high 70s, we can call it a breeze.  And the pool will open tomorrow!
