Spring to Summer

Today was the most beautiful of days with clear blue skies and really warn sunshine.
In the fields, early this morning, the tiny lambs were enjoying the warmth of the sun, our bull calf (now almost 4 weeks) was giving chase to all the other cows only to then flop in a heap in the sun in need of sleep - well he is still young after all... And our bantams kept stopping when they fell into pockets of sunshine curled in their heads, fluffed their feathers and had a quick nap.
The sunshine seems to have brought everything alive, the grass is growing (which is good for our cows) the hedgerows are full of primroses, the daffodils are in full flower and not long now until the bluebells open out in our woodland. Must get on with the vegetable patch am very behind with preparing and planting....
With a day like today we look forward to the extra evening hours after the clocks change tonight. Here comes the Summer......
