Just kind of happens doesn't it?

[HeyWayne]

Everything turning green that is.

Struck me this morning when driving to work. There's a stretch of road that in the summer has a canopy of trees and branches. It effectively forms a tunnel and the road appears quite dark (when driving from sunny).

I noticed it today.

Then I noticed how all the trees en route are all bushy now and less sparsely covered.

Then I noticed the abundance of weeds (looks a bit like a nettle but with little white flowers atop) along the roadside.

Lifts the spirits dunnit!?

Utterly fantastic isn't it???

I've been admiring the fields full of dandelion flowers- millions upon millions of them- just so beautiful!

Yup- they may be weeds- but it's still very very pretty!

We've waited a long long time for this haven't we!

[HeyWayne]

Oh, and that's not to mention the fields and fields of rape as I drive towards our village.

I know it's not to everyone's taste, but that sweeping flash of colour is just magical to me. Love it!

I don't even like yellow that much.

Greening up everywhere here. In the winter I can see the pop-hole from the bedroom window. As the damson tree flowers and comes into leaf, well, the chickens could be up to just about anything!

Sorry folks but I have just got so tired of waiting for the herald of summer. The buzz has gone. I feel let down. My balloon has popped.

Who's the herald of summer?

It's only spring

[Brengirl]

Silly me. I thought that Spring is the herald of summer and it's springing too late for me this year.

I think summer was that nice week we had in April!!!!!

Is that shome short of innuendo?

It doesn't need to be - it got a whole new thread out of Wayne!

Dandelions = wine.
OSR is pretty enough, but it's horrible stuff in other ways. Gives me (and loads of other folk) headaches, and if you get TOO close, it stinks of old cabbages! Hence the name used by so many of us 'Yellow Peril'.
The gold of springtime is nice, from Celandines to Daffodils and Dandelions to Buttercups, but now is the Blue season. Bluebells are out (and wood anemones).

Yeah I only saw that afterwards, felt a bit of a fool

It's nice to sit here and look out the window watching the garden come to life. Likewise up at the lottie all of a sudden the hedge is green and bushy , and the parsnips are germinating Still damp and cold tho' but it does lift the spirits.

[Brengirl]

Sounds good to me. I'll have the same as you thanks Binley. Cheers!
