Defrosting

Defrosting

As I write, its warm and sunny. Weve had three days of T-shirt weather. The welcome swallows are back again for the summer and swooping around, with their distinctive chirping. Bright yellow daffodils have popped up in the front paddock. Weve been out in the garden on the weekend, digging, planting, weeding, watering, relocating raised garden beds. Its light enough to be outside at 6pm. The tomato and basil seedlings have popped up in their warm, indoor pots. Soggy patches of ground have dried up. The strong scent of wattle fills the air. Tiny buds have appeared on the fruit trees. Sebastian the rooster has a spring in his step and a look in his eye as he chases the ladies around the place. With our windows open, cheerful bird and frog noises float in. I know the warm days wont last (Im not about to plant the potatoes yet), but for now, isnt spring wonderful?
