ladybirds does it make to conjure up springtime? I've just seen one very busy little soul trundling about on an old penstemon leaf - at least it's a start

How lovely, Diane! It's strange how any little sign of spring is so welcome, isn't it? I heard my first mistle thrush singing today and last night in the gentle rain, a frog hopped across our garden path. It's be frog spawn next!

We,ve had a couple of brave bumble bees buzzing around our heather plants for most sunny days this winter. I always think the first frog arriving heralds real signs of spring but the ice on our mini pond has barely melted since the weekend's snow so I fear it will be a while yet. When I spot the heron regularly flying around overhead doing a recce of local ponds I know it,s time to put the pond protective covering on ! We,re not getting as many frogs in our garden as we used to so need to protect them.

We are still frozen, sure winter is with us for a while yet.
