Yesterday
came five jackdaws up from the village and made a hasty visit to our farm.
Nice. A harbinger of spring. We are still waiting to hear spring’s first crow,
they leave the valley during the harshest winter months so it feels really cozy
when we hear their croaking again. One of the first real signs of
spring.

The power
of nature is overwhelming. The seasonal changes, extreme weather, tides or just
a small lingonberry twig that has found its own place on earth.
