fresh shoots emerge, tips swollen -
green life from brown mud.
Almost, the first daffodil is opening under the bare trees to the front of our house. There is a little blue flower already.
Last week gales raged around Ireland, felling branches and trees, there was no point in cycling, it was hard enough walking with wind battering from every direction.
This week, everything has softened. Green shoots are sprouting through the mud every which way you turn. I saw a solitary bee, laden with pollen, hovering lazily around the first cherry blossoms. Rain drips softly from branches swollen with buds.
Soon.

ReplyDeleteI'm just waiting for that Summer door to close. Just had another really hot day but woke up to a cooler drizzly day.
Happy Spring to you!!
