Our fava beans are thigh-high, and the plum and apricot trees are in full bloom. We haven't yet had our traditional big wind that blows most of the blooms to Half Moon Bay. The garden daffodils are done, but there are plenty at Trader Joe's.<BR/><BR/>As for the hot air, we'd be happy to send you our politicians, who are in fine form, with only months and months (and months) to go. (I love the scent of a good straight line in the springtime.)chrissouphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00398602853402174732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-66854884123493161272008-03-02T14:20:00.000+01:002008-03-02T14:20:00.000+01:00It's good to see that spring may at last be close....It's good to see that spring may at last be close.<BR/><BR/>Are the cowslips (<I>coucou</I>) out yet?
