Shifted to unlined blue jeans yesterday. Didn't need a Carhartt coat and lined gloves.
Several of our hibernating species of butterflies were out and about.
Sat in the Suburban in the sunshine and didn't drive anywhere for 15 minutes.
The last of my winter bread crust for the Ravens will get tossed into the street today.

Best thing about spring for me is that it is getting better/safer to ride my bicycle when there is no more ice on the roads.

Still being light when I get into the wood after work.
Still not there yet, by the time the padlocks are undone and driven up to the ride stop it’s still headtorch time, but it won’t be long now :)

Yeah, the extra light each day is really noticeable now, along with the extra couple of degrees in temperature. We have a family garden work afternoon today, one because it needs it and two so that the kids see the difference that the seasons make on growing cycles etc

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was told that some CBD products can result in a positive urine drug test for THC.

If it does then that’s not a test for Cannabidiol, that’s a test for Tetrahydrocannabinol. As there’s no THC in CBD, the test is wrong.

My back lawn has had its first haircut. The washing is outside instead of clogging up the bathroom and radiator. Lunch in the garden. The raised beds are cleared of weeds and ready for planting. The potatoes are in and first leaves showing ready for another top up of soil.
My rucksack is packed ready for this weekend and the first adventure of the year trying my new mat and coastal foraging.
Spring is realy here at last. Happy happy bunny here!

Up and out whilst still dark this morning. Beautiful clear sky once the sun came out. Deafening chorus from the many busy birds. Spent an hour gathering sticks in the company of a woodpecker. Looks like it's going to be a good day.

Definitely not the Chiffchaffs :( - I love all wildlife but the Chiffchaffs are back and their constant 'chiffchaff chiffchaff chiff chiff chiffchaff' song gets a little irritating!

OK, it only bothers me when I am concentrating on admin - finances and stuff - maybe I should just stop doing that :)

There's is a bit of doggerel that I've seen attributed to Great Britain's past. One version might be:
"The first of May, the first of May. Outdoor foraging starts today."

I'm curious if the other version is a real historical quote.

Read either way, that's what excites me about spring.
