Nearly

It's been the most beautiful weather today - so very nearly spring - if only the daffodils would get a move on and open their buds.

A couple more days of this glorious sunshine and I hope they'll start flowering.  I made the most of the sun and dry weather and went out and cut the grass.  As I haven't cut it since the middle of August I feared it would be terribly hard going.  Amazingly, it was no problem at all - although the back grass was still a bit wet in places.  At least that's one good thing to have come from such a long, cold winter - the grass has hardly grown in about six months.

And the potted herbs on the kitchen windowsill - mint and basil - are positively luxuriating in this sun.  I swear I can see them growing.

Well, it's almost 5.00 pm and I'm sitting here in broad daylight with the sun shining in and the window open - something I couldn't have imagined ever doing again just a few short weeks ago.  There's even the smell of spring in the air.  Oh I do love this time of year.
