I just looked through last year's posts of March and it turned out I posted exactly the same picture at the time!
Talking about 'in a rut' or maybe 'history repeating itself' ...
Oh well, I thought those blossoms were pretty than and I guess I still do, nothing wrong with that.

Same for this one, of the weeping willow at the lower gate:

                                                

It's first leaves of the prettiest light green/yellow are unfurling ... willows are always early but this year everything seems even earlier than before!

And look at this:

The first Red Angus calf is 'on the ground', as they say. No doubt a lot more will follow, it's a small herd but they all look like they're ready to pop!

We have a few more ducks starting to visit the pond. I've seen several Buffle-heads and Hooded Mergansers and a few small groups of Mallards.

(Btw, did you know a group of ducks is called a 'paddling' when in the water, a 'waddling' on land and a 'team or flock' in flight?
Not me ... well, know I do!)

We've had a few decent days this week, sunny and even warm enough to have coffee outside (in the sun)!

                        

I'm scrambling to find anything else to say about this week and I didn't take many pictures either. 
When I told James I seem to repeat exactly what we did last year and that I'm really not doing much with my 'wild and precious life'  ... he disagreed. 

"Look at all you're doing ... making from scratch: yoghurt, bread, hummus, coleslaw, dried fruit, and sprouts, morning smoothies and most of our cookies and pastries (oliebollen!), you're growing vegetables and flowers, you compost, keep birds, bees and bats and make sure to buy eggs from happy chickens.

Add to that the spinning, knitting, embroidering, painting, puzzling, walking in nature every day and of course reading.
                                                   "I don't call that 'nothing'!"

OK. OK. If you look at it like that I guess that's not too bad ...

Also, I finished one of the most difficult puzzles I have. Took me an insane 4.5 weeks to do so but hey, I did it!
I guess that counts for something! It's not quite a 'wild' life but I like it and that's all that matters!
