Yesterday the sun emerged, strong and pure. The wind changed to a southerly aspect after the northerly blasts that carry icy breath.
Sheer joy..
I am greatly enjoying my cats these days as they are safe and free and totally at ease out here. They are five, all rescues. Lovely to see them so relaxed and strong.
Yesterday I was breaking down cardboard boxes and adding to the size of my no-dig potato patch. One box was too strong and sturdy to flatten, so I set it aside for storage etc. At that point I was.... alone!
When I turned round my 14 year old "kitten" was in it, rolling around in sheer glee in the sunshine.. He is long haired and big boned and it made a summer image.
Then he was joined by two of the youngsters. An intricacy of furry legs..
It may have been the box the chickens came in...It was certainly revelled in..
And on the driveway, tiny wild violets emerging. Small perfect specks of life.
Early today a walk was planned but it was raining cold watery wind so I turned balk. My big boy had rushed out to come with me and was so disappointed. Sorry, cat! He has followed me on walks for many years, and the quiet lanes here are bliss.
In solitude, these "small" things are great. Space and time to live at a gentle pace.
And later the warmth will return
