Yesterday I found them..

..the very first spring flowers in the garden! Oh joy! They carry a sweet subtle smell of
oncoming bliss! Soon all the snow will have melted away and the garden will be covered by the yellow winter aconites with a mix-in by snowdrops. The latter are of a beautiful double kind planted many years ago by the family who lived here for generations.
Yesterday, I heard the first blackbird warble -a bit subdued -but still..

This beautiful song I found onYoutube could get anyone into a good mode!
Will probably bore you with many posts on spring progress from now on!
