Is Spring Here ?

Well it’s the 1st March and the weather presenter was heard to say “it’s Spring”. Apparently weather presenters take the 1st March as being the first day of Spring! Well I wont argue and if we are now in for some sunny Spring like weather that would be a bonus. However, in all probability it’s going to be more rain.

Never mind - it’s the weekend, so that can’t be bad. Saturday breakfast and it was ham, mushrooms and a lovely fried egg …with the obligatory cup of tea. If ever I call on you please have the kettle ready .. It’s a standing joke in our family. After we say hello the kettle goes on and the tea is brewing.

Saturday should be a quiet day, shuffling around getting a few things done which didn’t get done in the week. Why is it that sometimes 24 hours in a day just isn’t enough? It would be nice to think we can enjoy a Spring walk but we’ll have to see what the weather decides to do.

So in the meantime the next best thing is some pictures of Spring flowers.

 

 

Snowdrops, crocus and daffodils. Around the gardens and local park there has been a good display, and the earlier golden type daffodils are doing very well. Now that‘s a good link into the first verse of William Wordsworth‘s poem. I can certainly remember this from school days ……

Words of William Wordsworth 1770 - 1850

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

……… and if you don’t know the next verses and wish to read go to here

Whatever you do this weekend, hope you have a good one, and thanks to all for reading and commenting on the many and varied articles on the blog.

All the best Jan
