I’m seriously tired of winter, cold weather and darkness. As a small reminder of what spring actually looks like, I found an old photo from the garden, and chose it as my PCwallpaper. It helped raising my spirit a bit. If you would like a daily greeting from better days to come, feel free to download the image in 1920×1200 pixels here.
We are life & light
we are shadows & magic
we are each others alibi

I et hjørne af haven
This little fellow was in trouble the other day. He’s born and raised in a nesting box in our garden. In fact the one that is hanging in the same apple tree, which supports my hammock.
Last Monday he seems to have reach teenage-hood (Notice the typical teenage expression on his face). Consequently he decided to take his first steps – or flaps – out in to the greater world.
He wasn’t too successful. In fact I had to rescue him a couple of times – like when he got his foot caught up between two pieces of glass in our greenhouse.
And this is how he rewarded me: by occupying my hammock! How typically teenage-like…
Luckily, after flapping around for some time he became tired and settled down in a sage bush. There he was chirping loudly until his mother (or was it his father?) came by with the evening dinner. Finally, peace was restored in the garden. Phew……
Last years apples, a bit of sunshine and a bunch of fieldfares having a garden party. Not really enough to start talking about spring approaching. But things are mowing in the right direction 
I går fik vi øje på noget interessant ude i haven: et staudebed, hvor de gamle stængler fra sidste år stadig står i visne klynger, var fyldt med snegle. I massevis var de kravlet op, og sad nu enkeltvis og i små klynger på planterne. Nogle var levende, men rigtigt mange virkede som om de havde opgivet ånden på vejen. Men selv i døden sad de stadig fast på stænglerne, så langt som de nu var kommet op.
Det var som om alle havens snegle på en gang havde fået den idé, at søge opad mod himlen.
Der findes sikkert en naturvidenskabelig forklaring på fænomenet. Men måske ligger der noget dybere bag? Måske har sneglene fået øje på den store, gule skive som har skinnet så klart over os de seneste dage. Nu var tiden kommet, hvor de skulle forenes med den store, lysende snegl i himlen. I en slags religiøs ekstase er de utrætteligt kravlet opad og opad, indtil deres små sneglehjerter har sagt stop. Måske er vi vidne til et resultat af sneglenes kosmologi. Hvad ved vi egentlig om hvordan snegle tænker?
Vinteren går på hæld. Gamle sommerminder blander sig med duften af visne planter. Det er vist ved at være på tide, at gøre klar til en ny sæson.
