Spring is here

 Spring has suddenly arrived in my back garden as the bulbs begin to bloom and the grass grows ever longer but remains too wet to cut.  It has all been frozen so many times this year and each time the temperatures go up and the icy places melt we are boggy again.
I am really fed up with having to clear up cat mess from our lawn  and so I have had to decide after all these years that I do not like cats.  I have had cats all my my married life and loved and cared for them but now as the only cat free house in our cul-de-sac we are the chosen toilet facilities for all the neighbours moggies and it is not nice. It is also the first garden I have ever had where no birds sing!   We might just have to get another dog!
 This little basket of winter pansy has bloomed throughout the rain, fog, frost and snow amd cheered us every day.  The clocks go forward into British Summer Time this weekend so they might soon have a few friends growing alongside them so they can have a rest for the summer months.
I love Springtime and early summer - new life.
