I had a game going with the local fox. It was digging up the daffodil bulbs I have planted in a tub at the front of the house and I was digging them in again. To begin with it grubbed around promiscuously but then it became scientific and took to unearthing a single bulb- the same one every time. This hasn't happened for a night or two now so perhaps it has accepted the futility. Or perhaps the movement-sensitive light we have just installed by the door is scaring it off.
I notice bulbs all over the garden are beginning to send up their fleshy green spears. 'T'ain't even Midwinter yet and the world is coming back to life. Yes!
