BUD BURST (AND MORE CATKINS)


                     

The sunshine seems to be speeding up the opening of blossom and leaf buds.  Admittedly I am especially pleased and aware of it all this year, due to THAT WINTER.  You can almost see them splitting open and uncurling in front of you - a more thrilling version of watching paint dry.

Spring seems to have caught up with itself a bit this week, although I heard that the bluebells are still going to be late this year.  It will be interesting to see if it really does all even out, or whether the season will keep lagging behind.  Interesting for us, but possibly life and death to creatures timing their emergence with the blossoming of certain flowers.
