On this evening in
particular it feels as though Spring has finally sprung. Daffs and tulips are plump and opening,
if not already blooming and there are buds galore to be seen all around. The chickens are also feeling the seasonal change and eggs are being produced quicker than they can be used up. Okay, so the earth is largely left bare,
aside from the yawning perennials, but this will soon change in a flash – when
I finally move in to action.
As I turned the corner
on to my plot today, ducking under the low apple tree and negotiating several
raised beds, I was met with a symphonic drone. A low buzzing akin to a dubstep bassline quickly followed by
my shock at seeing around ten or so also slightly shocked bumble bees taking
flight. They had been sunning
themselves on the shed, affectionately known as The Tardis, and took to the sky
on my arrival almost proclaiming that the worst of it is over.
So there we have it –
nature has announced that we’re in the thick of it. Ready the Bumbles!
I saw my first bumble yesterday, having a rest on the mat outside my front door. She flew off went I went inside :)

DeleteIt is indeed an exciting time. Spring is here at last!
ReplyDeleteIt most certainly is!
DeleteLove the sound as well...only thing I don't love is that sound when it's inches from my face!
ReplyDeleteCan be a little disconcerting but they're just going about their own business :)
DeleteSpring is a lovely season. Now is the time to reap all the rewards of garden.. flowers blossom, and the grass is surely greener. Keep these great posts coming.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't agree more and thanks!
