Quote 32 of 281

From the diary of Samuel Pepys (1663-1703)

It is strange what weather we have had all this winter; no cold
at all, but the ways are dusty and the flyes fly up and down,
and the rosebushes are full of leaves; such a time of the year
as never known in the world before here.

		-- Pepys' Diary, 21 Jan. 1661
