Today we had a trip out to the vet. It was time for Penny to have her annual vaccine boost. For once she wasn't very keen to get in the car. She used to love the idea of a car ride. I think all the recent months of prodding and testing has made her wary of the real intention of having to get in the car. Also as she ages she finds it harder to leap from ground level to the back seat. The way round that was to move the front passenger seat forward so she can get in the foot well first and then on to the seat.
A couple of days ago I took down a thick wooden shelf from the side of a shed and found this wasp had been sheltering, or possibly hibernating, there:
Today, as the temperature headed up to 17C, I spotted a few bees taking advantage of the warmth and a couple of open Crocus flowers:
I also watched a large bumble bee trying its hardest to fly forwards in a blustery wind.
I hope she enjoyed the car ride eventually. Tell her it's no fun getting old but better than the alternative.
ReplyDeleteI see the little spears of my daffodils poking through the dirt outside my kitchen window. Just a couple of days ago there was deep snow there!
