The sun is out, the sky is blue, the Robin is in his tree singing again.
Loads of blue tits flit across the garden. Pigeons are sunbathing on the roofs opposite.
The daffodils and tulips are growing quite quick.
And it's been warmer of late. Not forgetting the evenings are drawing in a bit later now,spring will be here soon. Yay!
this is a blog about nature in a small town and the surrounding countryside.

Planting in a nightdress.
Found some daffodil and hyacinth bulbs what needed badly to be planted, so I went out in my nightdress in the pouring rain and planted them. I don't think that they will take, but who knows? I hope so.

Spring is slowly coming.
There is much activity in the bird world, building nests finding mates.
The residential Robin is still in his home and still singing his heart out.
No sign of the fox though.
Daffodils are now pushing through and I noticed tulips leaves are pushing through as well.
The weather is very changeable at the moment.
So everything in the garden is fine so to speak.

Snow still here.
The Snow is still here. The cats have been out in it , one cat loves it, she enjoys being out in it.
The birds are singing but above them all you hear the robin. Which makes me wonder which bird has the loudest song in the bird world, have to do some research.

An ode to the weather.
Snow snow,
Rain rain rain,
Snow snow,
Sleet sleet sleet,
Rain rain,
And all through that,
A very bitter gusty wind,
Wind wind wind.
