Signs Of Spring

We worked all day yesterday in glorious sunshine, a welcome change from the gloom of late and all around us definite signs of spring are appearing. This has been the first time we have seen the herons this year, gathering like prehistoric pterodactyls on the tree tops around the lake, I think the sunshine turned their thoughts to nesting again. Our chatter was also of warmer times as we discussed which flowers would adorn our own gardens this summer, already all of us are itching to start the cycle by nestling our precious seeds in the good earth once more, even after the dreadful weather last year hope forever springs eternal in a gardeners heart. Monday will be our last day working around the lake this year, it is almost time to turn from lumberjacks to tillers and sowers again.

"One swallow does not make a spring, nor does one fine day"
Aristotle

Shandy likes the thought of spring too!
