Spring things that you can look forward to in the next few weeks

[whatisforteamum]

I suffer from SAD.So seeing daffodils I planted peeping up now,slightly longer days and just sorting through my brighter spring clothes cheers me up.
Easter bits and spring stuff in the shops too.😁
What are you excited about.
Before anyone say s it I know we have some cold weather ahead still.

Definitely the daffodils !! A few of mine have heads already.

Might start weeding next weekend as it's a bit out of control, I can't wait for the lighter evenings to fully kick in. So glad winter is behind us 🥳

Yes I agree.light at the end of the tunnel.

Literally!

Definitely the daffodils. They make me smile every year 🌼 (I know that isn't a daffodil -it was the closest thing I could find).

Nights lighter flowers son in the gardens here. Next month the clocks go forward. Must start looking for summer duvet.

Also a delicious Apple hot cross bun would go down well.

Nice thread OP! Snow drops are just starting to flower - they make me so happy! Crocuses and Tulips coming up too. Primroses are thinking about flowering too. Must get some hellebores for some winter flowering.

Opening up the garden.

My first daffodil starting opening today and nought a camellia and have a few hellebores on order. Am already enjoying the slightly longer days.

I love the first time you can sit in the garden or the park with a cup of coffee or tea and feel the warmth on your skin. Also, leaving work and it's light.

I have a chair in the garden and this morning I sat out in the sun with a coffee - first time this year! Lovely. Like you, I love to see the flowers come out. Pussy willows, and the magnolia buds are coming too.

Went to Orchid Festival at Kew that was nice on Saturday.

Blossom on the ornamental cherry trees should be out soon

I sat outside my local park cafe in the sun this morning, having a coffee & enjoying the snowdrops & celandines.

Had it today, the sun was so warm in my sun trap garden, apart from that leaving work and it being twilight, I love it.

Our village churchyard has snowdrops starting to pop up, and they are a very welcome sight indeed!

My greenhouse! Pottered around in there today and it warmed me and my heart.
I feed the birds too and I sat watching some of them doing their courting dances. So lovely

Ooh, we had sun. It never occurred to me to sit outside with a coffee, how lovely! I will remember to do this tomorrow.

For me it's hearing the birds at dawn, the changing smell of the air, a neighbour cut their lawn this weekend. Today i was able to open all the windows and give the house a good airing.

I spotted a whole roadside verge of fully flowering daffodils yesterday. It really cheered me up.

I only saw my first snowdrops last week so the daffs are a bit ahead of themselves.

Being on the bluebells though.

Not having to wear a winter coat every day!

Definitely daffodils! I spent £6 on 6 bunches on Friday and they are already in full bloom! DD isn’t well and coming home for some TLC today and i have a bunch in her room. They smell divine!🌼

my flock of sheep will lamb in april. I have new wax melts to burn, and a week in Center parcs to look forward to

Daffodils from the supermarket @ £1 make me happy.

Yes, lighter evenings and daffodils! I know we can get very cold weather in February through to March but leaving work and it not being pitch dark is great.

I love seeing the bulbs starting to pop up or bloom too.

Getting back out into the garden to start tidying things up a bit. It's nice feeling that all the warm weather this year is still ahead of us and I look forward to being outside more.

Not having to wear my big coat, gloves, scarf, hat etc. Just being able to get away with wearing a coat for now but I know we've got some cold weather on the way.

The sun now sets just late enough that it's dusk as I collect my son from his after school club and it's timed exactly right to see a huge murmuration of starlings as we're driving home. Last week we did a slight diversion in the way home to see it more closely.
