A little frost

I took this photo a week ago. It was our last frost (so far) and it was very light. Frost only showed up in the shadier places. The just-above-freezing temperature didn't seem to be a threat to the growers, at least around us.

A touch of frost on young blackberry brambles.

We're entering the series of May holidays as school spring vacations wrap up. This week, Wednesday the first is Labor Day, a national holiday. Next week we'll have May 8, the anniversary of Germany's surrender in WWII, and May 9, Ascension Day. Both are holidays in France. Then, almost two weeks later, is Pentecost Monday, also a holiday in France. After that there are no more days off until summer vacation starts in July.
