This morning's sunshine does a world of good. Not only has it teased open the crocus, it warms my soul. The news is no better, but my mood is bright.
I'm struggling to master my overwhelming urge to play outside, tidying gardens and getting my hands dirty. Why not? Because I've got an article to edit and a novel to write.... If I make good progress today, then I can indulge my competing desire tomorrow and all weekend long, if I wish.
But I shall take my laptop into the sunroom.

News Flash!
To stick with the colour theme of this post: What do you get if you mix black and white?
I've just seen the swift grey flash of a phoebe. It perched briefly on the fence post outside my office window, flicking "hello" with its tail.
Then I spotted another.
The male and female--perhaps our perennial nest-builders?
Checking my notes I find that in six out of the past twelve years, they've returned to us in this very week. I love their consistency!
