Enjoying Spring

Winter seemed cold and drawn out  which means it was  a typical hills winter - grey and damp. The past few winters have been cold yet sunny. The grey meant we had average rainfall at long last so hopefully their is enough subsoil moisture to get us through the coming  summer.

Now spring has  arrived and everything looks wonderful and fresh. So good that you want to be out there all day. The morning and evening scents are also so full of fragrance ,  gentle  and refreshing.

The frogs are busy calling  while the birds display their riches plumes.While weeding the berries  the blue wrens follow me along the rows chasing the tiny lives I’ve disturbed.

It would not be Spring at Nirvana without those fast growing yellow fluff ball goslings that quickly turn into mini geese as they continually graze the orchards.

Spring is a special time to observe and enjoy.
