I am thoroughly enjoying spring time at the moment. Birds are singing, baby animals are frolicking in the grass with their newborn friends and the flowers are displaying all their glory. Several chicks should hatch from eggs and a baby goat should be bouncing around our legs anytime now.
What more could you ask for?
The mulberries are ripening and Mum and I have been madly picking them before the birds swoop in and eat all the good ones. You have to be quick and the best way to stay on top is to pick them everyday. So every afternoon after work we head outside with buckets in hand and pick pick pick. You may have stained fingers but it's well worth the effort for a mulberry pie at the end of the day.
We have been enjoying the biggest, sweetest strawberries which we buy from a local strawberry farmer. Every year we watch in anticipation for the strawberry sign to change from closed to open and when this happens we are there with our money in hand waiting to buy our delicious strawberries. The strawberry in the middle is the average supermarket size.
Wisteria blossom has burst forth and sends a gentle fragrance through the open windows of our house.
We have also had quite a bit of rain which fills our paddocks up with water. I like to think that for periods of time we have"lake views" or that we live in the lakes district.
