Spring

The nature fairies have been very hard at work and while we're about 10 days short of the spring equinox, there are lots of tell tale signs that it's almost spring time!  I've been told many times that the difference between the seasons here is quite striking and already we can see the marked change between the end of winter and the beginning of spring.  

Firstly, we put the clocks forward to summer time last night.  The extra light at dinner time was just beautiful.  I guess we'll have to get some "patio" furniture for when we have a "cook out" eh?

Driving back from Vermont we saw hundreds of geese flying north after a southern winter.

The snow has been melting and that means sloppy puddles - perfect for splashing in!

Some of the trees are starting to bud!  I'm especially looking forward to seeing green...

Coming home from a walk this afternoon, Fanta Pants spotted these flowers in one of the recently exposed garden beds.  They smell beautiful!  I can't wait to see what else emerges from the garden as the snow melts away...
