1 There was a very heavy frost this morning , the first day of Spring, and as it melted, it dripped from the fennel in one of our chimney-pot planters.

2 Lovely friends came round for supper last night and brought this beautiful primrose which will be planted out near the new Silver Birch. As M said, one can never have too many primroses and that is so right!

3 We stomped around The Great Flat Lode this afternoon. Beautiful moss, bark, views, reflections in muddy puddles and near the end, a bank of opening Lesser Celandines. I love the auburn outside of the petals which almost matches the dry autumny leaves. This beautiful flower is also known as Spring Messenger which is just the perfect name for a flower I found today.

I loved that too! I saw the drips when I went down early to make the tea, it being my turn, and went out in bare feet and PJs to get that shot! 🙂

Hi Sally! I’m just popping by from Uru’s to tell you how much I loved your lemon curd! Thank you for sharing that family recipe with us! Your photography is just beautiful! It’s inspiring me to want to get out and take more than just pictures of food! The clouds in a puddle is my favorite! : )

Fennel, primrose and celandine.
Looks like you’re going to have a great spring!
