Unbelievable! And on the subject of bees. the bumble bees have woken up and are prospecting for nest sites. So far they have evaded my camera lens. Above is the best shot to date.
Here's the most uplifting song I can think of to reflect the mood:
Spring spring for us today. I even needed sunglasses.
ReplyDeleteThe long wait makes it all the more welcome!
DeleteYou lucky people. I am happy for you and want to share some more. It is 30.5 C here and the plants are not lovin' it.
ReplyDelete30.5 is 0.5 higher than Edinburgh's alltime record temperature, Jane. (It also matches the temperature inside my greenhouse today!) We gardeners have to adapt to the conditions we are given - unless we move. Historically, Scottish seed merchants are notable for moving their operations to the South of England.
