Signs of spring

The recent snow's almost gone again so we went hunting for signs of spring today. Along the way I heard a new noise ... the bleating of little newborn lambs. They sounded really close but I couldn't see any from the path. I'll need to come back soon for a closer look ... and maybe a photo!


"Frae the bud leaves are breakin
Trees are dauncin, branches sway
Blossoms in the wind are blawin
Spring has come tae flooer the day"

(Donald Smith - from Scotlan's Spring)
