Any day you wake up on the sunny side of the grass is a good day.
"The moving hand writes and having writ moves on. Neither all thy piety nor all thy wit can lure it back to cancel half a line nor all thy tears wash out a word of it." The Rubiyat by Omar Khayyam
I really looked forward to seeing my Flowering Plum (Prunus x blireiana) bloom every year. It is just a pity it is so short-lived. This year, the first blooms opened on March 25 and it reached full bloom by March 30. Four days later it was all over. Of course the downpour we had on April 2 didn't help!
