The creatures we have hereabout that are both beautiful and exciting to watch are Hares. We don't see them nearly so often as the rabbits, sadly but when they are around, they are worth stopping to watch. Unfortunately, I have never been able to capture one in a photo; they move very fast when startled and rapidly disappear. I've never seen one in our garden, only out in the fields.
Having got together the 'hardware' for my hand-spinning this week, my next job is to get out all of my fleeces and see if I can find a way to fit them in my car. It would be wonderful to have them sorted and I know Fiona will do this quickly with me, thus saving me ages at home: she will also be able to tell me if any are only suitable for the compost heap, which will be another clear out job achieved. However, it does depend how many I can shoe-horn into my car. All, thankfully, are wrapped in sheets and zipped inside smell-proof (I hope) bags.
I see, now I've had a look at my last entry that the birds have been uploaded twice.....not sure how that happened but I am still in learning mode, I suppose. I shall have to stop using smiley faces too, as they look a lot less meaningful when rendered as blank mini squares :/
Out on a walk earlier, in the sunshine but Arctic winds........
Cowslips - one of my favourite wild flowers.....
Hawthorn looks very pretty when it is in bed and flower.
Also, one of the most anticipated fruits of the year has just become available from the garden:
...beautiful, first Rhubarb!
