Summer Is Icumen In

Warm and sunny. Let’s just hope some of it gets up Manitoulin way, where according to Environment Canada the ice in the North Channel is still thick and solid.

What would the world be, once bereft 
Of wet and of wildness? Let them be left, 
O let them be left, wildness and wet; 
Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.

…from Inversnaid by Gerard Manly Hopkins
