Number one. The first sign of Spring
Soon these will be pretty Hyacinths with a gorgeous scent, right outside my front door to greet me each time I go into or come out of the house. I do love these next few weeks every year, I get a ridiculous feeling of joy each time I notice more plants waking up out of their winter slumber. The snowdrops are of course already out, they don’t count in a way because it really does still feel like winter when they are braving the elements. It’s the Crocuses, Daffodils, Hyacinths etc that do it for me. That feeling that Spring is on its way.
Writing this post has reminded me, it’s almost a year since I began this blog. For me, it’s quite interesting to read back over and remember little things that are really so insignificant that I would have never remembered them otherwise, as well as the bigger events, the details of which are soon forgotten if not written down. I’m glad I managed to blog a little bit about Shaggy over the past year, I just wish I had started this years ago when he was younger, more energetic and very amusing at times. The main reason for starting this thing really was so that I could look back and remember, kind of an online journal. The fact that sometimes other people read it and are interested/entertained/whatever by my musings is an added bonus…. I haven’t done very well with the post-a-week challenge recently though have I?
I’ll try to get some photos over the weekend to update on my knitting progress.
