2 weeks ago in the garden there was still a sparseness to everything even though buds and blossoms were forming on branches.

There were noticeable gaps along the boundaries. I could still see into other people’s gardens.

There was an absence of daisies, dandelions, buttercups and wildflowers. Not anymore. The gaps have been filled. The garden is like a meadow and beautiful blue flowers which have been dropped by the birds in seed form now stand resplendent on the edges of the lawn.

Nature has arrived all at once and it’s beautiful to see.

It’s time for my early morning ritual of Indian Masala Chai spiced tea made in a teapot, with a dash of oat milk and savoured while this music is played.
