Waiting for Warmth

Well almost out of April and it seems like winters still here, yesterday we had sleet and hailstones with Temperatures of 4c or 5c  much the same today.

Despite all this cold weather things are stirring in the garden my Rhododendron is starting to flower if you remember its the cream one that suddenly change to pink after 11years of growing, the blueberry bushes are flowering with loads more flowers so may be a bumper crop this year. The bird's have been active especially the Blackbirds here's a shot of one with its beak full of peanuts and a little Dunnock grazing on the spilt food from the feeders

Hi there
Well last week I thought Summer had started early Today 4inches of snow that was a surprise its been a while since I posted and I didn't know if any one was looking any more as my counter at the bottom has stopped working any ideas how to start that working?? Lot of things happening in the garden we've had some squirrels don't ask me their names, also seemingly hundreds of Bluetits and Chaffinches maybe that's the sign of a mild winter that we have had.
I started work clearing up the garden getting it to look good for the summer but hopefully in the next few weeks it will look just how Lou liked it.
