Sunshine between the showers, the ash trees are just about to show their leaves, no sight or sound of the barn owl at dusk, and no activity around the box in the oak. The grass is growing greener and will soon be full of sugar, so strip grazing the donkeys will continue and the sheep will have to work harder to keep the paddocks trimmed. Topped up the pond, the tadpoles are growing, no sign of legs yet, lily leaves are widening to give the fish some shade. A wet end to the day with lighter winds.
