What a beautiful day it is.
It must be much like the below all over Europe. Temperatures are rising, leaves are sprouting, and it's beginning to feel like Summer.
I'm convinced that the colour GREEN is good for us! With lawns being cut for the first time this year, I know that the delicious 'green' aroma of freshly mown grass certainly is good for us.
Bees are now everywhere, Tulips are flowering, and fresh-air outdoor-campers are again to be found sleeping in the churchyard. Late April is the season of re-birth. Birds are nest building, Lambs are in the fields, and people (including me) are out freshening-up the paint on their front doors.
Men are wearing shorts again, women are wearing pretty Summer dresses, and people are smiling more than previously. There are very few downsides to life at the moment; other, maybe, than hay-fever for some, and some aphids appearing on our Rose bushes.
This week will see temperatures of around 20 C on most days. A little way off my favourite of 25 C; but not too far.
It is looking good up here too.
ReplyDeleteEvery year I wish Spring would start earlier and Winter end sooner.
I think we'd all like that.
DeleteI know the colour green is good for me. It really lifts my spirits. And our garden is full of bees too. I can hear them buzz buzz buzzing around.
ReplyDeleteIt's not quite warm enough for me to wear short sleeves. Around 20o. Time for lighter clothes and lighter jackets.
There has been a big change. A lovely to lime of the year
It's that fresh new greenery that does us so much good. Imagine living somewhere where they didn't have it; unthinkable.
DeleteI love this time of year, everywhere feels so fresh.
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely, with the promise of better things to come.
DeleteIt will soon be the darling buds of May. My favourite month.
ReplyDeleteI shall look-out for Mr Bates.
DeleteYour best post ever, in line with my new life mission, making the world a happier , more loving place. You have my love and respect for your optimism today. It is a beautiful day outside today, makes one feel good to be alive. ;)
ReplyDeleteYesterday was 'special', and as you say; full of optimism.
DeleteLovely to see signs of spring although here the lawns keep growing all year round and we don't really have a down season when we are not gardening.
ReplyDeleteOur hedgerows and grass verges are filled with wild flowers and garden escapes, which are a delight to see. Most of the trees don't actually lose their leaves, so little change there. After the rain we've had, all the plants and trees look freshly washed.
