No Rain for 40 Days!

Yesterday was St. Medard Day and as the saying goes, “Medardova kápě čtyřicet dní kape” (Medard’s cape drips for forty days). I found the saying in English as well: “Should St. Medard’s Day be wet, it will rain for forty yet”. This Medard guy is usually pretty consistent and, as far as I remember, June 8 is a rainy day more often than not. Well, did it rain yesterday? It didn’t! Apparently we’re in for a nice, dry and sunny month. And it’s about time. After the beautiful first three weeks of May, we were thrown back into March with its rain, wind and 12-degree temperatures. I couldn’t believe it when I was turning our heater on (and praying it would work) on June 2. Yesterday was finally quite warm and sunny and it seems it’s only going to get better. Summer is less than two weeks away.
