Here on the rock the year has definitely turned.  Waking up with the kids at stupid o’clock is no longer in the pitch dark!  A month ago I’d be typing this in darkness.  Now the sun, if not actually up, is very nearly up and there’s light streaming in the windows.  The cat is rampaging around looking for something to attack and the kids are playing in their bedrooms.

And my garden has decided it’s Spring!

(No snow on the ground now, this was taken on the one day this year we’ve had it!)
