When spring arrives

The first warm day of spring arrived today. And for the first time in a long time, it had the good manners to turn up on a Sunday, when I was not at work. I took all of the phots below this morning. Finally we know winter has gone, till next time. Yes, we will probably have a light frost or two before the end of May, but the deep freezes and snowfalls are done. Phew, we made it through another winter and can soak up and enjoy the sheer beauty of spring. Mrs James does know how to look after a garden.

Oh, and last weekend we went to the farmers’ market and picked up eight new hens, seeing as our current batch are in their fourth year, and a few have already ended up in the large soup pot (sans head, feet and feathers, obviously). Stay safe, peeps!
