Spring in blackpropaganda

This time of year is fantastic. It has been warm and sunny and the trees are getting green - buds are cracking almost as you watch - and the may blossom is overwhelming when it is fresh on the bushes and trees. We have just walked along a river with birdsong all around - a blue sky above - fresh greenery - and trees still ti get their leaves. I would love to stop time here - and have it like this all the time - but to use a cliche - life goes on. No wonder the pagan festival at this time of year was taken over by Christianity and the concept of New Life incorporated in its theology. My sap is rising!!!!!
