After one last refreshing(?) swim, it was time to winterize the pool. The hawk moths are still out as are the bees on the red sage!https://photos.app.goo.gl/AMCsg5YNwVMqxaor9. Waiting for the cranes to pass by soon.

It's that time of the year! The thermometer has stopped gripping about cold feet! The lavender bushes are alive with hawk moths and lemon butterflies, as is the red sage bush at the other end of the pool. Meanwhile the Ballerina rose is just doing its' thing.
The hay has been cut, so you are looking over the meadow, preferably with a glass to contemplate!

The orchids are coming in to bloom in the meadow. The wild cherry is in bloom too, and it's time to unpack the pool after the winter hiatus. Enjoying a tariff-free moment studying the meadow!

The snowdrops are out. We had lemon butterflies at the weekend, and some painted ladies, along with some fantastic night-time skies. Crocuses are on their way too. Spring will soon be here!!
