Res Ipse Loquitur








But here are a few words, anyway. Over the past five days, the sun has appeared now and then, and occasionally for longer periods, and even more occasionally, it has been somewhat warmer. But the ground is still pretty cold. Nevertheless, the improving trend seems to have encouraged the holdbacks that survived the winter (our large fuschia seems not to be one of those), and they have flung themselves over the precipice or the cliff or maybe just into the next season. All over the Point, wonderful colors are suddenly appearing in masses. It is a renaissance, indeed.

Also, during today's sun interval, the horses and horseriders were out as well as the dogs and the dogwalkers. Everyone looked very happy to be outdoors.

Miep sent me here.

I'm in Maine, and I'm jealous of the flowers. We've still got traces of snow in the back yard, and it's below freezing tonight.

Beautiful, very beautiful.
