For yesterday's first day of spring, we had our first outdoor picnic of the season: sandwiches, veggie chips, celery, carrots, and strawberries in the late afternoon warmth. Sis had ridden her bike and gardened; Bud played basketball and jumped on the trampoline down the street. We ate, marveling at the flowers and even the bugs. And tossing our strawberry tops as far as we could!
I even managed to get up and down off the picnic blanket on the ground, just another thing to celebrate!
Here, in sunny Horton Heath, we had a male pheasant walking around, squorking like an out of tune choir boy and generally making the place look more cheerful. The rhubarb has grown through the pile of horse manure and should be ready to eat on 1st April. Those were the good things, alas, there have been negatives but they are put before us to be overcome.
