Dulcie and I spent a lovely morning in the Botanic Gardens today. It may have been freezing, but there was a definite feeling of spring being, if not in the air, at least on the horizon. For some reason, all the robins were being really sociable, following us around and hopping right up to us, singing in our faces. We spent ages with this wee fluffball. I guess it's something to do with mating season being on the horizon? Maybe they were trying to chase us out of their territory and we took it as affection! Ha! We also saw a squirrel gathering dried leaves and (literally) squirrelling them away in its nest. Dulcie collected a wee pile of leaves for it and was delighted when it took them from her, folded them up neatly and stashed them in its hole in the tree. So sweet. Lots of birds were singing, doing that thing where they call and leave a gap before calling again. Dulcie started saying, "Do it again, bird," during the gaps and laughed each time when the bird obliged. I'm so glad our city has so many green spaces and equally glad that Dulcie was in such good spirits all day - it really does make my life so much easier.
