Good afternoon Folks ~ I hope you are enjoying this first day of March. Spring will be here before we know it, and I know so many of you are looking forward to this day. Some of you are already out playing in your gardens and that's great.
We have a lattice grotto at the entry to my shed. Tork, our outdoor Tabby, has taken to walking the top of the lattice wall from the back of our cottage over to the grotto and tip toeing through thorns to get to a protected nook.
The following pictures were taken this morning. There are 4 different kinds of roses plus bougainvillea growing up and over the shed. Click on pictures for larger view. You certainly can't see her in the first picture, but she was there.
A Change in the Year
It is the first mild day of March:
Each minute sweeter than before,
The redbreast sings from the tall larch
That stands beside our door.
There is a blessing in the air,
Which seems a sense of joy to yield
To the bare trees, and mountains bare;
And grass in the green field.
William Wordsworth
