Search for signs of spring
And let some light into your life this imbolc
I’ll keep it short and sweet today. Your task this week is to get outside and look for signs of spring. I spent yesterday on a Wild South London walk doing exactly this and we spotted the first daffs in blooms I’ve noticed this year, snowdrops and bluebells starting to peek through the earth, crocuses hiding from the grey skies, fresh green nettles, parakeets nesting and woodpeckers drumming. Longer, warmer days are on the way!
Daffs blooming are such a joy! I haven't seen any daffs yet but we do have crocusses and snowdrops bursting through the grass 😁
Hills near by are burnt ashes and mud in LA. Dash of rain. Bulbs I missed plating in fall. Did prune a blueberry bush put a few twigs in water and they a sporting some white flowers. Hopefully some will root and then I will plant in pots so gophers won’t eat them. The ground is turned over and over by the little diggers and mounds pile up. Only can hope rains will be light to not erode hills. If so dormant wildflowers not seem for years will grace the land with a pallet of flower colors.
