Diary 3/5

It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring! Not going out in it if at all possible.  Finishing tax stuff and coloring with granddaughter.  The hazelnut catkins are ready to make pollen to go with the tiny red flowers the buds along the stems will soon open to be. In summer they are tasty filberts if you can get to them before the blue jays do.
