Everyone's out enjoying the sunshine.
The tulips have blossomed and are yellow beacons of welcome. From one day to the next the buds have opened and revealed the yellow beauty within. Lovely for an April, divinely contrasted against the green grass.
The road is alive with kids calling their various minders. Mums and grannies mostly, the latter are being treated like serfs with shouts of :
" Pick me up! Take me over there! Let's go play on the swing! "
and you know what, the grannies love it and read each and every wish from the toddler's lips. The might of little kids is immeasurable and doubly so if they are cute as a button. Who but their mum could say no to outlandish demands?
A man down the road was watering his garden. Well, garden is a bit of an exaggeration as it is a field of brown earth. They have just moved into their new house and are now trying to grow a garden. Funny, late yesterday evening while I was taking the Mister for a walk, I saw him hopping about in his garden throwing what must have been grass seeds about. Good luck to him in this dry climate.
Another couple were taking out a tree stump in their garden and it looked like extremely hard work. The wife was picking at the stump while the husband gave her advice!
The warm weather, today we cracked the 20 degree mark, brought forth many visitors who made the best of the sunshine to visit friends or family. The upcoming Easter weekend has energized everything and judging by the number of cars coming from Vienna, it means that this year families will celebrate the long weekend together. About time too, after these dreadful two years of corona.
