Spring has finally, albeit somewhat tentatively, graced us with her presence here in the Hills. We have been fire-less for 3 nights now, but I'm not putting the firewood basket into storage under the house just yet. I'm still in catch-up mode at work from all the goings-ons of last week & am up to my neck preparing all the submission documents for my largest Tender which is due in 5 days. There's just a gentle hint of breeze today, & now that the camelias are fading, the rhododendrons have taken their spot with a blaze of colour throughout the garden. I'm working from home today, so have decided to take the whole lot outside & work quietly in the dappled sunlight, with just the noisy birds & my cell phone for company. Life is good & I'm grateful.
