Could it be that spring has sprung?

What a difference some sun and blue sky make!  This was what greeted me when I opened the curtains yesterday morning.

After lunch, the better part of an hour in Stanmer woods where everything is starting to come together.

That green floor will be a carpet of blue in a couple of weeks or so when the bluebells are in bloom.  Fortunately, the Stanmer bluebells are still mainly the scented English variety rather than the unscented Spanish which is supposedly taking over.  I love the celandines.  They always look as though they have been dipped in acrylic paint.

And by the way, happy birthday, ma'am.
