Spring has arrived in the Owlery. The violets, by tradition supposed to bloom in March, - is doing so this year. Today I discovered 3 of them as I was in the garden repairing my dome-shaped greenhouse. It was the smell that made me notice them, they really smell deliciously.
Domen blev jo revet noget itu af stormene, men derudover var fundamentet smuldret og et par af stiverne knækket, så nu bliver den sat helt i stand igen.

My poor greenhouse was badly treated by the storms, but not only the storm. The tooth of time has been gnawing at the foundations and broken some of the wooden struts. It is in need of a total make over, and it will get it.

Uglemors bier har overlevet vinteren, og det synes mig at de har fundet noget helt nyt at suge nektar fra:

MotherOwl's bees all survived the Winter, and they seem to have found a new source of nectar.

Dagen sluttede med denne smukke sølvfarvede himmel.

The day ended with this beautiful silver sky.
Uglemor,
SvarSletI enjoyed your photos! So glad to see spring has arrived for you at last. We are seeing signs of autumn. The leaves are already changing colour. I will have to take some photos!
I will look forward to your autumn colours. It would be strange for me to combine lenten and autumnal activities and fellings. Lent is for me a spiritual springtime.
SletUglemor,
SletYes, I understand why you associate Lent and then Easter with spring. I was surprised (and delighted) to find this quote on other blog:
'Lent is the autumn
of the spiritual life,
during which we
gather fruit to keep us going
for the rest of the year.
Enrich yourselves
with these treasures,
which nobody can take from you and which cannot be destroyed.
I am accustomed to say
that we will not make Lent well unless we are determined
to make the most of it.
Let us, therefore, spend this Lent
as if it were our last,
and we will make it well.'
St. Francis de Sales
A link between Lent and autumn!
Very beautiful. What a pity that the new Danish prayerbook just has been printed. Else I would have told my husband that this prayer had to be included.
SletNå, jeg var sørme lige ved at tro din blog også var sat på faste, men du har bare haft travlt. ;-)
SvarSletFasten betyder måske at jeg skruer lidt ned for min e-aktivitet, men jeg holder ikke funkstille som de andre år. Og da slet ikke uden at fortælle om det. Vi har bare haft en stor fødselsdag, og almindelig forårstravlhed. Vi ses, når det bliver regnvejr igen.
