'O What a Beautiful Morning' ......

....... sang Curly at the beginning of Rodger and Hammerstein's 'Oklahama'.

It has been the most beautiful spring morning and in the sunshine the temperature felt much warmer than the 8°C displayed in the car.

A few more days like this and most of the mud should have dried up ..... the exception being the area where the Highland Coos stand and eat the hay ..... I don't think that area ever dries up completely.

The snowdrops have had their turn and now it's the crocuses that are opening up to allow the bees to start collecting pollen.
