A taste of spring...



 "Faith is the bird that feels the light and sings when the dawn is still dark."
Jalal ad-Din Rumi


I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes.  ~e.e. cummings


Just a quick little blog today, as I have so many things I want to do today, tomorrow, this week, next week, and so on!

At the moment, I'm loving the signs that spring is on its way. The birds have started singing their joyful song and I especially love to hear the blackbird singing away early in the morning, and at the end of the day.
The mornings and evenings are lighter now and the temperature is slowly starting to rise...
Snowdrops and crocuses are brightening gardens with their cheerful splashes of colour.
Buds are appearing on trees and bushes, along with catkins and pussy willows.
Hope is everywhere, along with the promise of new life, new beginnings, fresh starts.
I'm so looking forward to getting out and about in the fresh air, to really soak up the feelings, sounds, tastes, and smells of this invigorating, refreshing and optimistic time of year...
