Spring Time Blossoms

I will never get over how amazing Spring is in England. All the rain this country gets sure does help when the foliage wakes up again after winter. Already there are blossoms all over on cherry and apples trees, and tulips, daffodils, snow drops, forget-me-nots, lobelia, grape hyacinth, regular hyacinth, blue bells, wisteria....and so on and so on are over flowing in gardens and on road sides. The air smells of pollen and nectar and if a breeze picks up it takes thousands of petals from trees with it. Lawn movers are busy everywhere and hedge trimmers are joining in now too. Best of all though, the birds are in full song chirping in the warm sunshine. If only I could show you all of this, but unfortunately I'll have to settle for giving you a glimpse.
