Warm glow

The weekend came and with it the promise of just a pinch of warmth. It wasn’t as though it was necessarily felt but rather a faint tickle of a glow that although it is now February, there is just a chance that Spring is pushing its way through the door.

It was, with a pleasant surprise that the golden yellow crocus greeted the day, marching upright from the soil and ready to open their crowns when the sun finally appeared. It also left an urgent itch that there was much to do to tidy up the ever creeping weeds that invade both container and ground and at the moment are increasingly winning the battle to secure the land.
