What a long wet winter, very hard on wildlife never mind our spirits. I remember taking this picture of ferns about to unfurl last spring and it fills me with joy. Aside from the muddy swamp my garden has turned into over the past few months there are new buds and shoots everywhere and I spied two very loved up frogs in my pond today! I created the pond last May/June so am really hoping for frogspawn - nature's stamp of approval upon my humble efforts! It is also becoming lighter and brighter as the days lengthen - always makes me feel good. I saw a beautiful fox in the garden today also - I was alerted by the geese honking and flapping - it stopped in its tracks and stared at me as I rapped on the window feeling rather conflicted I must admit, as it was such a privilege to see such a beautiful creature so close up - but naturally I didn't want to lose any of the resident 'swamp' fowl! All is quiet again.
