Well it is here. Yipee. Actually, I think I might be tempting fate by writing this and the winter could come back and bite me in the bum but what a wonderful day. The sun shone, the birds were singing their collective hearts out. Quite literally the sap was rising as most of the plants were showing signs of new growth.
As I sat in my garden this morning trying to capture some of the birds coming to the garden it was amazing what a bit of sunlight will do to your spirits. You don't have to be suffering from S.A.D.D. to feel better when you finally seem to have turned the corner and the days are getting longer and lighter. I was going write warmer but there was a frost last night - a product of the clear sky over night.
One final thought - spring is a noisier time than in the past. Nothing to do with the din of passing traffic nor bird song or even lawn mowers but rather expanding plastic. Most of the house where I live have plastic guttering and as soon as they get a bit of sun on them they start to expand. This leads to a continuous click and crack sound. The warmer it gets the more click and cracks. Just another sign that spring is one the way.
