Oh!  I just love catkins, a real symbol of Spring with those soft little furry buds.  :) busy_lizzie

They've been trying to come out here since Feb, but with no success. A spring-like week, if we do get one (long may it last!) should do the trick. Once it's out properly, the bees can get started properly as well, assuming the weather's mild enough for them to fly.

Hi all,

Its sprung,  :D

I have daffs out (about 10+) and my first two tulips. The sun shone this morning again and there were bees around today some of which found my daffs. There was also a butterfly.

This afternoon it rained (again)

Col
... I am warmed by winter sun and by the light in your eyes.
I am refreshed by the rain and the dew
And by thoughts of you...
