I am taking a nice rest this afternoon, because for the moment all my seedlings and young plants are looked after and doing their own thing, growing mainly and getting strong, oh and defending themselves against the onslaught of slugs. I’m sitting in the livingroom but the door to the garden is wide open. Seagulls are flying over making an awful racket, and the rooks are not far off either, I often see them interact with each other, flying after each other. They are having the time of their lives!
The most exercise I’ve done today is walking around my smallish garden and picking a bunch of wild flowers. There is a great tit in the trees, it has this certain call lately, it makes me think that I’m in a large forest, it’s wonderful!
Our trees are very lush now , their best colour of all the seasons is now, the leaves, those of the oak tree only unfolding, are so fresh. One branch of the chestnut tree is very elegantly overhanging part of the vegetable plot.
The month of May is not far off. Soon the swifts will arrive over our house and gardens, when I hear them, for me it is summer no matter the weather.
Right now, in nature, it is the best time of the year!

Thank you Sarah, yes you are so right, it is the right size for me to manage, that is with the help of nature of course, I often let nature take its course and am then delighted with the results (wild flowers and plants).
