Spring anyone ?

[Pattree]

Last night there was a lot of twitting across a field to the west of us but the twoooing was coming from all over the place including our garden. Clearly she’s a popular girl.

 

[Laurentius]

Yep I have daffs in my little wood.

Spring and autumn are my favourite seasons.

I like watching the change.

This morning, and most of the afternoon has been a pleasant spring day. Got some weeding done in the raised beds, ready for new plantings, but got chased indoors by a sudden, short, but intense hailstorm and thunder, just a few minutes ago.

Luckily, I'd finished the weeding in the large bed, just about finished the new bed, where i want to put in some blackcurrant bushes, and was about to get to grips with emptying and refilling some of the pots, ready for carrots, and other crops.

Think I'll call it a day, and have a cuppa instead. I can finish the rest tomorrow.

Spring has sprung
The grass has riz
I wonder where
The birdies is?
The bird is on the wing.
But that's absurd.
The wing is on the bird.

 

[Broch]

Yep, taddies have hatched

Saw my first swallow of the year this afternoon but one swallow does not a summer make.

 

[Lean'n'mean]

Nightingales have arrived in the garden......the dawn chorus is really going to kick off now.

We saw our first swallows yesterday and heard our first willow warbler today. Plenty of other birds about, the humble chaffinchs must be nesting now as they are flapping around our windows collecting spider's webs for their nests.

 

[Broch]

We have pied wagtails nesting in the wall above our kitchen door

[Tengu]

Yeah, it looks a bit like that.

 

[Lean'n'mean]

Blooms galore.
Apple.

Quince.

Lilac.

 

[Lean'n'mean]

Choisya (Mexican Orange) .....usually flowers in may.

 

[Lean'n'mean]

“Ne'er cast a clout till May is out,” ........with temperatures struggling to reach 12°C, ne'er a clout shall be cast.

[Pattree]

Blackthorn.

 

[Nice65]

Wild daffs today, in the only fenced off bit of woodland in the deer park.

 

[Pattree]

Blackthorn.

Yep, put me down on the list.

If I squint hard the Ash buds are probably swelling!
