I'm so happy I could just burst!! Having opened the back door to let our furbaby Jade out into the garden to see if her squirrel friends are about (like the ducks on the canal she loves to visit, she adores the squirrels but they don't ever want to play with her bless them) well standing at the back door I noticed something...
I then wandered over to the huge pot our much loved peonies grow in to see if I was actually seeing what I thought I was seeing and.....
It's true! I did spot tiny, precious shoots fighting their way through the soil looking for sunlight! This is wonderful honeys! I always judge how close spring is by our beloved peonies appearance each year.
Part of my brain tells me that, according to the calendar at least, we have a little over nine weeks till the clocks roll forward and we welcome Spring, and as much as I look forward every year to losing that hour.... don't judge me honeys. I'm awake before the birds are every day so an extra hour in bed is just an extra hour for me to wait till anyone else wakes up to keep me company 😊
Well, anyway, as I was saying 😊 as much as I look forward to losing that extra hour (I don't mind the hour itself, more time for me to read or do a puzzle in the morning but it can be lonely) well it takes us closer to spring you see. I am so not a winter person. Spring is my release from the cold and the long, dark days that seem to drag on forever.
I'm reminded of the wonderful Harry Secombe singing "If I ruled the world, every day would be the first day of spring" and I wholeheartedly agree 😊 Such a beautiful song with wonderful lyrics 💖
So now that the peonies have begun to grow it'll be no time really until they look their gorgeous self and make me smile every single time I open our back door...
What's making you smile today honeys? Are you looking forward to spring as much as I am? I've just glanced out of the living room window and the snow is coming down heavily again. I have to leave for work in around half an hour too, time to get all bundled up warmly 😊
Stay warm and safe dear ones, till next time, huggles always xx
