Animal magic
Weatherwise this week, we've had every season. Thunder, lightning, hailstones,
frost and even plenty of sunshine. Today was a gloriously sunny day - within an
hour in the country this afternoon, a pheasant, a fox and a hare all crossed my
path (Not together of course - that would have made the basis for a good fable).
I usually associate St. Patrick's Day with a bitterly cold wind and a dash of
hailstones - I guess that there is still time. There are also plenty of lambs
gambolling about. From my house, I can usually hear the sounds from the local
mart on a Saturday morning; Cattle lowing, sheep bleating. Of course, they'd
make more of a fuss if they knew what was in store for them.
The silence, Clarisse, the silence of the lambs.....
