Bill, lol! It has rained a lot here during the last weeks. The fun fact is that now, at the beginning of Summer, temperatures are much milder than they were in winter( sometimes ascending to 35ºC or almost). Hoping for a milder summer, with enough rain but without floods.

Weird... took out one link and it worked. The link was the corrected link to AB's poem because the last exclamation point got chopped off... go figger.
PS... putting an exclamation point inside parentheses is apparently a no-no.
