SPRING IS FINALLY HERE!

All of my bonsai are waking up at last, tiny little green buds are appearing all over their bare branches. In a few days they will be covered in masses of new leaves and I can stop worrying; they have made it through another cold winter after all. My family are convinced that I would like to wrap them up or at least bring them in doors, but it is a responsibility that I take very seriously.
Some of them are so small and delicate, it seems impossible that they can tolerate our winters when I myself have trouble! Some of them are more robust and quite old, my favourite is over thirty years now. When this one is in full leaf I will post a picture, it really is breathtaking.

Been busy with ideas for my new project (a novel, God help me!) and we bought a digital voice recorder to help with the extra workload. All I have to do now, is make it work with my 'Dragon'. For those of you who haven't tried 'Dragon' to dictate straight to your computer, you really should, as it saves so much time and it's really easy to use. (says me! You don't want to know how long it took me to find that out!) Two writers in the family might not be such a good idea, but who knows? As they say, you don't know what you can do until you try.

As I am an early riser, I manage to read quite a bit in the mornings. I am reading another Kim Edwards book at the moment, 'The Secrets of a Fire King' and yet again I am reminded of how pitifully inept I am and how good I would like to be. She is an amazing author.

Must go now, lots to do, but I will leave you with this thought...

A weed is just a plant in the wrong place, so is an orchid in a ditch a weed?
