"AVIAN F.M"

   Well I've been going on a bit about Spring beginning even before the official date but yesterday as I was lamb sitting, the lawns got mown and it has given a whole new aspect of neatness to the garden. What with that and all the somewhat late pruning that has been going on, it's all starting to come together ready for the clocks going forward tomorrow night. Yes it's time for our body clocks to get severely confused yet again!

Next thing we know it will be summer, (The Olympics) and not that I'm wishing the year away but it does seem to be speeding by, or is that just an age thing where time seems to accelerate (though not to Hadron Collider velocity) thank goodness! How does Dr Who's body clock cope when he whizzes around the vast expanses of Universe at mega speeds.?

Meanwhile back on earth (our time) the mad mutt pretends to be a small part of the scenery and a porcelain frog contemplates why there are no lilly leaves or a pond in his vicinity, just sunshine shy hyacinths.

As for the bird activity in the gardens here it has been amazing to listen to the early morning  "Avian F.M" starting the day and then watch the variety of species going through their spring courtship, searching for suitable nesting sites and of course trying to find food to keep their energy levels high. Some even trying to prise seeds from the remaining cones.

I think ... the pine larder has been emptied.
But Dad reached another milestone in improvement today and not only drove to the loval town but also went shopping, the staff in the store were delighted to see him back!
So our larder is restocked and towd man much happier!
