Spring

[Retlaw]

Spring must be here, frogs have come back to the pond, and started kapertaling, about a pint of frog spawn so far.

Well, that's a new word I've learnt today ..

Used to love getting frog spawn as a kid, and watching them develop into tadpoles, then the little legs growing. Aaaaah.

Ladies should remember not to swim in open water, until after the spawning season has ended, unless wearing a very snug swimming costume.

Katex - isn't Retlaw's "kapertaling" an old Lancashire word from the verb "caper"? I remember my mother using it when I used to dash about - but she pronounced it with the emphasis on "pert".

Noticed my neighbour's cat was doing just this today Shill ... sat on my bench lapping up the new warmth that Spring brings.
The flowers are awakening from their Winter sleep, had a column of midges today dancing merrily around each other.
Birds are beginning to collect small fingers of branches that have escaped from their mother tree and golden sunbeams are floating through my patio window shining their magic on ....









the blooming dust !!!

As Thos. Kennedy used to say:

Spring has sprung, the grass is riz,
I wonder where the birdies is.
The bird is on the wing,
But that's absurd;
The wing is on the bird.

depends yerself .. if they start singing at 4am like they did this morning .. then they may just not be around again to see the sun coming up ..
