You Know It's Spring When ...

Great stuff I agree 100 per cent Bring on the summer time, With all the hard work it throws at us .Love it to bits

Frogspawn in the pond even though its full of leaves :(
Rocky bouncing about like a mad thing.
Crocus i got out of a skip in flower and spreading under the trees :)
When i feel like cleaning!!!
the first grass cut of the year
Birds singing their heads off and flying here and there
having to take my body warmer off as i have got too hot!!
Great blog Andrew certainly made me think lol

We love it......

Spring? oh, the joy that wells up inside when I hear the birds singing, the first gurglings of the solar water feature, the smell...the smell of the earth warming. The colour of new leaves....not green but a hundred different shades of green and bronze and red....and the scent of a lilac tree in full bloom. This for me, is spring!

Being able to go outside without being wrapped up in four layers . . looking up at green shoots on the trees, and buds on the shrubs . . a few flowers bravely showing their faces in unexpected places . . feeling more cheerful about life . . LOVE IT!

Just looking out of the window and seeing SUNSHINE instead of gloom, instant cheerfulness :o))
Trotting outside in my slippers because I've spotted something new that's opened 'overnight', usually it's something I'd completely forgotten about!
Great blog Andrew, are you having an Open Day this year and if so, when is it?

excellent andrew ~ couldnt agree more but i do love the sun on my back and the blue sky!

Wormcasts all over the lawn ... the edging shears need sharpening for another season ... birdsong waking me up instead of the alarm ringing ... the Squirrel stops planting peanuts in the borders ... putting the Winter coat away! Lovely blog, Andrew. : o )

Having the afternoon off work to go in the garden (well I am the boss) lol. -

March means cutting back shrubs and trees and not knowing what to do with the branches until the council pick up the brown bins. Lifting those early plants that have self seeded just where you don't want them and looking at all the moss you have to get rid of on the lawn.
Apart from all that I love it!!!!

Spring is when Brazen Hussy pops up all over the place.....tulips spring up in the most unexpected places, the perfume from the skimmia flowers wafts around the garden, the excitement of finding another plant has actually made it through the winter.....and OH is cutting the lawn....this is Spring to me.
Enjoyed your blog Andrew, I expect you are very busy getting your garden ready to receive this years visitors.

You know it's spring when you see crows trying to mate on your neighbour's roof-top, and they caw and caw and caw and caw and caw and caw until it drives you mad !

I kind of like Spring. I won't let a few little hiccups get me down, and I am careful where i tread when tidying up.

Summer will be great too, but I still love seeing all the different Spring bulbs first.

I just love watching everything burst into new life...and drives into the countryside to see all the baby lambs :) Aww...

I love the sunny days we're having and all the promise of what is yet come...oh, and the birdsong.

Great blog and great comments too.

I think its spring when its getting light in a morning around 6/6-30am, plus the blanket weed on the pond instead of ice. loved your blog.

When you hear the Cuckoo and you see the big blue Heron, which I did see last week :o)),
when the bulbs start popping their head above the earth you feel you ve had a treat.

love sring ............... all the dafs, primroses , iris ............. birds singing .............. colours changing ............ warm wether , time to get out there !! 4 get the telly , on with the wellies .............

hmmm....having the car windows open, the smell of tulips, peepers calling from the roadside ditches, enjoying a cup of tea on the front porch on a warm Saturday morning, boxes of new plants waiting for me when I come home from work, the garden bursting into life...I love spring!!

I know it's spring ...... when my cacti start to flower :)

so true Andrew, i love opening my eyes to sunlight and walking down the garden with my first cuppa in hand seeing it all come to life, just to breath in that fresh air is wonderul :o)
