Blue sky, Hellebores and a Bumblebee

Temperatures have fallen again so the pond is frozen over.

On the other hand we do have sun and a blue sky.

More flowers coming  into bloom.

And more insects appearing. In the greenhouse I found a large Bumblebee. Admittedly it was a very annoyed Bumblebee as it had flown inside, found the surroundings distinctly lacking in flowers and had to spend 5 minutes angrily buzzing till it found the way out.

Things are definitely getting better. Now I need a warm sunny day so that I can start real gardening instead of half hearted pottering.
