Changing seasons

Being away for 3 weeks means that things that progress a little each day have made a bit of a 'jump'. Things I've noticed since being back have been:

• the sun has swung around significantly to the east/west now, not so far north as it is over winter;
• the sage plants have a stack of new leaves (so obviously it has warmed up enough for the plants to decide to come alive again)
• a stack of weeds have appeared in my strawberry patch (again, an indication that the weather is getting warmer/sunnier)

This is not to say that all the aspects of winter have left us yet - we had frost this morning (although it was only a light one).
