Awesome days

Weather has been really warm lately,

and it has caused accelerated growth in my garden.

Flip side of it is drought.

I am not complaining

- after last summer this is so much lovelier.

Filled with spring

Spring has sprung fast.

Really fast.

Whole last week we have had heat,

and nature, as well as my garden, too,

has started blooming.

Evening by Rapids of Nukari

There is something intriguing with water.

When it stays still,

it calms you down.

And when it cascases with it's all force,

it also scares - and enchants.

By the rapids in spring it is easy to believe in the spirit of water.

And how it lures you to join in.

I, however, stayed on banks.

Few peeps and several branches

No grass this year.

Last year I had,

but I was sure, that kitten would ruin it anyway,

so I'll wait until next year.

But I do have few peeps.

On the wreath.

Vernal equinox is here again

It is hard to believe,

that winter is over.

Or at least in calendar it is.

Last two mornings it has been -10 C.

A little helper

Little Princess spent weekend at us.

When my kids spent time at my mother's,

they were clean and polished,

when they came back home.

I am not that kind of grandmother.

We made some cleaning in garden plot.

Tonight I cry

Back of our yard, the other side of brook, there is a plot owned by excavation company.

They uses it as a soil storage.

A week ago they started to crash stones there.

Environmental authority required them to build noise barrier.

They did.

From soil.

Today the soil collapsed down.

On the brook.

On our yard.

On the edge of my berry garden.

Hepaticas are blooming

I know spring is now here.

Hepaticas are blooming.

Under our bedroom window,

so I can see them first in the morning

- and last in the evening

Seems like it is November...

Yesterday I was admiring spring in garden.

Galanthus nivalis

Spring bunny

Lesser Spotted Woodpeckers have been knocking telephone poles already for a while.

They start around 6 o'clock and stop after 7.

Early birds.

Blackbirds have been singing in few nights.

It is time to let Mr Bunny out of closet.

Hello Spring!

It has been sunny, but cold day.

Wind is blowing straight from north.

But it is vernal equinox,

so it is time to say "Hello, Sun!" and bring some spring in.

Tiny wreath for early spring

Weather has been warm.

So warm, that it seems we are having spring already.

Last year we had quite a lot of snow at the same time of year.

So I am just a little skeptical.

The vernal equinox will be in few days.

Then has to be at least spring wreath on the door.

Easter grass in lamp base

I have a spring feeling.

Sun is shining and I have made some cleaning in the yard.

Ground is still frozen here and there,

but I have managed to do some jobs that I left behind in fall.

But spring feeling also forces to do some seeding.

And I did.
