Furry pussy willows peep,
buds begin to crack,
dog’s mercury pokes through
the dead leaf mulch,
and celandine leaves make pools
of green beside the track.

Nature at its best Rhiannon, such a magical time of year when all around is coming alive.

You summed up the season so well.

Jenny.

Thanks, Jenny. It is lovely to see the little changes bringing colour isn't it? I just  took this little verse and the pictures up to my Mum-in-law (97) and her chair-neighbour (almost 94) and it was just enough for them to concentrate on and stir memories. Rhiannon

Signs of spring, very prettily observed.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed and thought so. Just the first little signs of the coming Spring at the moment! Rhiannon

Lovely, Rhiannon. Where I am the crocuses, snowdrops and daffs are doing well too.

Thanks, Elsie. Yes, you must be a little ahead down there!

Lovely time of year, can seem long moving on when the weather turns cold, but new surprises all the time! Rhiannon
