I know how you feel oh messenger of Spring.
One thing I have learned on my many walks recently is nature's love is unconditional.
Lambs are being born, the Gorse and the Daffodils are in flower. No matter what happens or what weather, nature will carry on.
Comforting to carry that knowledge in your heart, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteComforting sums it up perfectly Debby. You live next to the nature until you feel you and it are the same thing. Our planet Earth is sobeautiful. Thanks for commenting.
ReplyDeleteThe earth just carries on, with little signs of life everywhere, even under the snow and ice. More expected for us tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteYes the veg artist. Nature doesn't wait for us does it? It's wet and very windy here. We watched Adrian Dunbar again last night. Susan Calman tonight in the Highlands. Loved the Pembrokeshire coast line last week. Darcey Bussel More 4 Monday. Some great television outdoor programmes.
DeleteAnd in spite of man's best efforts to assassinate Nature, she will carry on long after we have gone - till the very end of time.
ReplyDeleteYes I agree YP. To say we are supposed to be the cleverest mammal. It seems that the so called lesser creatures make a far better job of preserving the planet.
DeleteI love daffodils. They are such a beautifully cheerful flower and I look forward to seeing them every year. Ours are not up yet so I am envious of yours!
ReplyDeleteHi JayCee. They always tell me that Spring is on it's way. When my Sedums flower in late Summer they show me that Winter is on it's way. We had Daffodils in flower in December a few years ago. It's trying to blow a gale here. Suppose it's the same in th IOM?
ReplyDeleteYep. We have strong gale force winds and are promised snow and blizzard conditions tomorrow. The ferries are cancelled; only local produce in the shops and no newspapers. Oh joy.
DeleteOh no! There's a lot to be said for buying or renting somewhere in a much warmer place abroad for the winter JayCee.
DeleteNo such signs of spring here yet. A few snowdrops struggling in the frost and snow, a few crocuses, but the daffodils look a long way off. A proper winter at last. Freezing all day. You don't know what you've got till lit's gone.
ReplyDeleteHi Tasker. Sounds like your winter is like the one we had here in 2012. Hopefully the snow and frost will kill off anything nasty living in the soil. I use to rough dig the soil when I lived in northwest England for the frost and rain to kill anything off and leave lovely drivable soil. It's just too wet here and we just have to wait. At least we have the polytunnel to start things off. Thanks for telling us all about what's happening in your garden and surrounds.
ReplyDeleteWell done autocorrect. I put friable not drivable soil!
ReplyDeleteI said to Tom today that they may be able to do all sorts of things to us 'ants' but they can't stop the Spring thank goodness.

Yep. No one can beat nature and Spring Briony.
ReplyDeleteThe almond trees are in flower but I havent seen daffodils anywhere. I do love a daf
ReplyDeleteI bet the almond trees put on a wonderful display Linda. I noticed the Pussy Willow too on one of my walks the other day. Hopefully Spring is just around the corner?
ReplyDeleteHello Dave,
ReplyDeleteIt is so reassuring that Nature will carry on carrying on in spite of everything. It is no wonder that we look to it for healing and hope for the future in times of stress and uncertainty such as these.
And, perhaps, we have all learned to become more reflective during these periods of lockdown and isolation, to take joy in the little things of life and to appreciate the beauty in the detail of everyday life.
We have found you via JC and shall return.
Hello Jane and Lance Hattatt. Thanks for your kind thoughts. It was wild and wet and very windy here last night. I have just looked at the Daffodils today and they are fine and show incredible stoic resilience against the weather. Thanks for commenting.
ReplyDeleteDaffodils are indeed stoic, as we always think are Hellebores and Snowdrops. We can take courage from their strength in adversity.
DeleteYes you're right. They are like friends that you only see once a year.
ReplyDeleteWhich makes the greeting all that more joyful.
DeleteYes Debby ever more joyful. Isn't it wonderful when you get excited and smile at a newly opened flower?
