It is my favorite time of year. The garden is in full bloom, and the weather is finally as chipper as my spirits. The new trainees are getting into the swing of things, and it is a wonderful group that we received this year. My daughter is finally home from her adventures abroad, and it is wonderful to be able to embrace her once again, knowing she is safe and nearby.

I attended the Quidditch Final, the first match I've gone to in several years. An incredibly exciting experience, and a well-matched game. And while I feel for my dear cousin in his loss, I must say that, as a woman, I couldn't be more proud to see the Harpies outplay the Falcolns.

Remus and Sirius, your barbeque was an event to remember. Thank you for putting together such a splendid event.

Life is good.
