Spring is definitely here.
Our garden has come very much alive over the past few weeks and the plants that had been dormant through the winter are now in full swing and working hard to flourish and bloom in time for the big events that are taking place in June.
In addition, we seem to be taking on all mannger of lodgers at the moment too. I regularly find myself interrupting the lizards sunbathing on the rocks in the front of the house and, cheekily, now in the back too. We are encountering Black Widow spiders in the shed and garbage cans, retarded Woodpeckers that try and get inside the bamboo stakes holding up the trees, the Gophers and Crayfish that we've told you about before and, just recently, Red-tail Hawks circling over the house looking for, probably, many of the things I've been mentioning in this paragraph.
What really takes the biscuit though is discovering a couple of finch-sized birds (need to figure out what they are) that have decided to build their (love)nest on top of our exterior speakers on the guesthouse.
We're quickly beginning to think that we've got it all backwards and that we should be asking the local wildlife for their permission to live here.
