Dwarf Iris
As we slowly head towards warmer weather the Dwarf Iris are putting on a colourful show:

A Colourful Day
It started when I noticed a few of my Dwarf Iris plants:
For our mid morning walk-about we cut trough the back of the churchyard.
As expected the Snowdrops were out under the trees:
and around the tombstones:
The main crop of Winter Aconite was putting on a good show:

Colour Returning
After what seems months of mainly dull, overcast, grey damp days a few colourful plants are starting to brighten things up:

A Bit more Colour
I can tell it's getting nearer to Spring without going out or even looking out of the window. I can hear the first lawn mower of the year droning away at a property opposite me. I would have thought the lawn would have been too damp, mine certainly is. Well that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.
Walking round the village with Bobby this morning I could see that many of the old houses now have lovely carpets of white Snowdrops. Under the shade of the trees in one part of the church yard is the usual crop of yellow Winter Aconite. They always make a cheerful sight.
Wandering round my garden yesterday I noticed a few Dwarf Iris were in full bloom.
Those along with several clumps of yellow Crocus and the hundreds of Snowdrops show that nature is awakening and there is better, well warmer at least, weather to come before too long. Also I notice that many of my dwarf trees show signs that the leaf buds are beginning to grow. For the first time this year I noticed that the greenhouse door is open. A few years ago I adapted an electric car aerial, along with a thermostat and some other electrical bits, to open and close the door automatically. The Sun is shining on the greenhouse and it must be must be getting near 18C in there for the system to operate.
Tit Nest Box
Virtually all of the wood shavings have now disappeared from the bottom of the box. All I can see is a few small fluffy feathers - whether shed by the bird or put in there on purpose I do not know.
Mid afternoon I spotted the Blue Tit make a brief visit to the nest box so it is still showing interest.
