"I know a bank whereon the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses, and with eglantine:
There sleeps Titania some time of the night,
Lull’d in these flowers with dances and delight
-A Midsummer-Night’s Dream (2.1.260-5)

First signs of spring
There are many signs of spring arriving in the yard!
We've had dandelions in the yard for quite some time...
This one is from a picture I took out in the yard a couple of months ago! Who would believe that you can see these in 'supposed' winter?
It gave some beautiful colour to an otherwise, bleak, winter scene though :)
The tiny little speedwell has also been blooming for a while. Both were somewhat early... but finally, the true signs of spring are coming... our neighbours Bradford Pear is bursting forth it's bloom... once we hit the warm weather later this week, we should see it in all it's glory! And then I will take a photo of it!
