Spring Frolics

The seasons change mega fast here! The first two weeks of Feb we had snow everywhere, then two weeks later - all gone and the temperatures suddenly went from -6 ish to 15 degrees highs.

With the sudden change in temperature spring quickly staked its claim - with daffodils, tulips and all sorts of spring bulbs suddenly appearing out of our barren flower beds. The snow had pretty much killed all the flowers and some shrubs off - but they were only pretending to be dead - new leaves and shoots are now sprouting everywhere.
And with the warmer weather, all sorts of wildlife has started to return to the garden - squirrels, birds, Flynn and Benjy!

Mornings are still chilly (around 2 degrees) but the afternoon reaches 20-21 some days now - perfect for one's afternoon snack outside

Like me, the boys love to potter in the garden and have enjoyed seeing the spring flowers appear in the flower beds and on the lawn

 

Benjy can't decide whether he prefers the wildflowers...

...or the daffodils

In any case, spring is a good excuse to bust some moves on the lawn!

And there's plenty of earth that needs transporting from the veggie patch onto the path

Finally, after a hard afternoon's work, Benjy likes to kick back on the patio with a good book

We had our first BBQ of the season yesterday and it was great fun! First of many I think.
