Early Spring?

 We've had some lovely weather in the last few days and the flowers in our garden adore it. Yesterday we reached 18 C beneath a brilliant blue sky, not bad for late winter at 1000 m above sea level. After all the recent rain, our shrubs, bulbs and other plants are having a lovely time bursting into flower.

Above we have a lovely string of daffodils along our driveway, most opened in the last week.

On the timber decking outside the back door we has this glorious collection of flowering pot-plants (above) and to the back side (right).

These exhibits are only a small fraction of the mass of flowers surrounding us right now. I go for frequent walks around town and the images are similar in most places. We're really looking forward for the formal start of Spring just two weeks from now!

Of course, in the middle of a virus lockdown, working in the garden is becoming an increasingly attractive prospect!
