I leave a landscape that has had the driest spring in recent memory and return to my beloved valley which has received over six inches of rain in the last two weeks.
Spring in England has ripened towards summer and the trees that were only hinting at green are now fluttering with leaves.
The nene goslings that fit so easily in my hand six weeks ago
are now going through that awkward--I would almost say ugly--adolescent transition from being covered in fluffy down to their adult plumage.
The pens that everyone worked to hard to re-turf , so the ducklings and goslings could have a fresh new start have gone from bare, scraped earth
to plush new grass with their first inhabitants
It has been a wonderful satisfying experience. Thanks for sharing it with me vicariously.
Aloha oe,
Kathy
