30th April 2012 .. Garden Traps

Overnight min. temp. a heady 9.6 deg. breezy, constant rain late evening;
It could have been an absolute bumper night but along came the rain to put a damper on it...again.
Pinch, punch, first of the month, no returns, white rabbits, and hoping that Awful April doesn't become Miserable May.
