Country lore

"Ash before oak,
We're in for a soak.
Oak before ash,
'twill be but a splash."
I noticed this afternoon that the leaves on the ash trees are beginning to sprout but there is as yet no sign of life on the oak trees. Oh well, not all those old country sayings are accurate.

The new leaves on the beeches are looking good. I always think they look great against the blue sky.



And whenever I see this view I think how lucky I am to live where I do.


But that wretched favicon has disappeared again!

The oak here in our front yard has laid down a fine dusting of pollen and is blanketing everything with something else now.
