Into the blue

We woke to gorgeous blue skies this morning, it was a little cool but a good day for doing some jobs in the garden. Brian was already out there once I’d wrapped myself up and headed out. He was staring at the sky saying ‘I can hear them, but I cannot see them’. I could hear the familiar chatter of the cranes, who had returned for their winter sojourn.

‘Just there’ I said, pointing into the blue.

Really high in the sky you could just see the cranes flying overhead. They always bring a smile to me when I see them, I think it’s because they have chosen the area we live in to migrate to, so delightful.

One of the garden jobs was to plant some tulip bulbs I’d bought. However, the ground is very hard and quite claggy, due to the rain, so it was pretty hard going.

I knew roughly where I wanted to put them, so together we soon had them planted. We then tidied up the ground around them, ready for, fingers crossed, when they start sprouting in the spring.
