No Sarah, it is not sad quite the opposite in fact. I am already looking at my garden, the Winter Pansies and Wallflowers have survived the winter snows well so far. I cleared the leaves off two large lawns the other day; I had to sit down for the rest of the day mind :-/ but it looks so much better.

You will find that many people post early mornings, I did myself for some time. It is not because they are "larks" like you, but, because they are on Dexamethasone which keeps them awake 😀 .
