The Shambles

The Shambles is experiencing spring. Birds that shouldn't be in the area yet are already arriving, a disquieting harbinger of global warming that the president doesn't just ignore but actively disputes.

About the time the ground dries out enough to work, the rain will return to upset our plans. So it's off to make the lists that will guide our activities for the next three or four months. Hope always pushes its head out of the ground with the croccus and daffodils. I guess that's what Charlie Shulz was getting at when he first drew Lucy holding the football.
