So, we've had our first loud rumble of thunder for the season. The weather has gone straight from winter to summer with no spring in between. We have had a week of temperatures in the 70s to 80s; the snow is almost all gone here but on the mountains there are still patches of snow in the shadows. The crocuses have croaked becausde of the warmth but the daffies are coming up and in some places are out.
Keep praying for Esther. I visited her this afternoon and she was so weak and tired she couldn't even talk with me. Her 98 year-old roommate (sharp as a tack!), Emilie, said the staff had just put Esther back into bed so I guess that means she had been sitting up all day. It is such a roller-coaster ride for a saint whom I love like a grandmother.
