Goldilocks moment and the lush wheat

“If ever there were a spring day so perfect,
so uplifted by a warm intermittent breeze
that it made you want to throw
open all the windows in the house
and unlatch the door to the canary's cage,
indeed, rip the little door from its jamb…
 
…well, today is just that kind of day.”
 
There is this ‘just perfect’ moment in Spring: not too cold, not too hot yet. Not too windy, not too sunny. And although we spent the day dealing with water problems again (this has been the week for emergency water pump replacement, burned controller, persistent airlocks and cloudy days where the solar battery is not enough), we still take a moment to lift up our eyes and watch the sea of lush green wheat that has come through, and the nodding purple poppies.
 
We hope everyone can enjoy this Goldilocks Spring moment: open your windows and rip out your doors indeed 😃
