Spring flowers... like the flowering almond tree by the stable, are one of the best things about Srping.
Coming after the cool blues, greys, whites and dark greens of winter, the sudden explosion of colour in the leaves, grass and gardens is breathtaking.
The other great thing is the arrival of special treats... like asparagus. It's growing so fast now in the heat that we have to pick it daily. What a chore!
Brian and David got a few rows of potatoes planted this week, too. It will be some time before we get to enjoy that bounty, but it will come... it will come!
We'll enjoy the flowers in the meantime. Food is good for our bodies, but flowers are good for our souls...
If of thy mortal goods thou art bereft,
And from thy slender store two loaves alone to thee are left,
Sell one, and with the dole
Buy hyacinths to feed thy soul.
