Heavy rains all night - and most of the day again. Working on remounting - The Three Trees a real problem, and I had to enlist Bertha's aid.
Late afternoon - the clouds open up a little - sunshine seems imminent - it grows warmer, and a hundred robins burst into song - the sir is full of a thousand odors - How good - how full life is.
