First daisy flower of the year! I know it's a long time till spring proper yet, but it's a sign. It's a SIGN, I tell you! 
(Colder temperatures expected tomorrow)
Hey ho.
Nice blizzard (or three) here yesterday. Ice in the pond this morning and more snow on the hills. The outside temperature got up to 3.5° and is now falling again, but it was lovely in the sun getting six loads of wood from the woodshed, and pruning a climbing rose that was growing into the woodshed, and finding that my parsley is sprouting 
Have added today's calm and beautiful scene in my pics. Enjoy
Butty...and today the scene is just as lovely but the sea is slightly skittish...
Butty your poem is beautiful.
Yes, it is
Beautiful poem, Butty It depicts perfectly the wild daffodils that are growing by the little stream in the woods near my house.
Bluebells are clumped and preparing to take over when the daffodils fade away. I love spring!
I drew back the curtains this morning and watched a female blackbird busily trying to drag a 5 ft long straggly weed through the picket fence from next door's garden. She's still tryimg 10 minutes later, poor thing. She must be planning a large family this year! 
. Perhaps it's her first time at nest building!
Well, she managed it! The straggly weed has gone and so has Mrs Blackbird. The mind boggles!
Butty... lovely poem... walked up the combe at Hestercombe yesterday and there they were, just as you described them !
Galen probably extra randy frogs!
Galen Less of the old, please 
If it gets too cold it's the survival of the fittest luckiest. Those near the top die - those underneath survive.....usually.
