Spring!

[panik]

Srzly!

It's still a bit nippy out there but the sun be shining, birds are nesting in my eaves; there's a wee Robin singing his heart out on my gate; daffodils and crocuses are up, my seedlings are sprouting like rampant crinoidal sprouty things. 

This has to be good.

We're home for a week anyway, Morrison's has been duly stripped of goodies, I have tea and bikkies and really should leave off Twitter now and do some work.

Oh, and I'm reading a wonderful book. I'm only 1/3 of the way in but I'm loving every damn page so far. Solo by Rana Dasgupta. A 100 year old man looks back on his life. Beautiful writing, great characters, rivetting story.

OK. Working. I am. I am. Right after I make some more tea.

'zakly - it's spring here, also, only without the nippy. (I think that's expected later in the week.) There be birds nesting in the front porch light fixture again, so it's time to put up the "Go to the back door" sign.

No flowers yet, but the tulip leaves are up. We'll have a bumper crop this year, so the deer won't go hungry.

Our deer keep themselves very much to themselves up in the woods. We don't get much mammal life in the garden at all tbh, just the occasional weasel.

Too sadly, the "woods" part of our town is diminishing - you can almost see the little clumps of trees disappearing as you look.

It became obvious when we moved here that any blooming flowers in our yard were going to become fodder, so we grow the tulips to that end.
