Spring - Spring!

Wonderful Spring Day - I have been doing the flower beds that have no snow in them! And after lifting out the dead leaves, fur needles etc., to my pleasure I can see the sprouts of Primulas, Crocuses and Iris reticulata.  I am looking forward to show them to you. So far a photo I picked up from my Picasa album - Snowdrops and blue hybrid crocuses, reentering them did not make them exactly sharper - lol. I have also done less glamourous things like raking and shuffling snow onto our drive way to melt faster. More and more Birds are coming back after spending the Winter in better climate! Blackbirds, robins - Erithacus rubecola, and chaffins-Fringilla coelebs.

Edit: I have been inspecting some of the Roses, and they look fine. Except for 'Stanwell perpetual' which has been damaged by the man who clears the snow, argh. One of the first bloomers is 'Martin Frobisher' Canadian hardy rose! In the photo above. He is one that lasts through autumn, not bad!


Herlige vårdag, det ble både nytte og glede! Så godt at det er liv i de dyrebare etter nok en hard vinter. Snøen har beskyttet godt her hos meg på Romerike, glad for det når det først skal være så kaldt! Jeg skrev innlegget på norsk i dag på HagÈgal. Så bare SPRING - det er VÅR!!!
