Finally, a day off. It seems that I have been constantly working the past week. I slept in until midday and spent the rest of the day tooling around.

To my great delight, I found some flowers in bloom out in the garden. Violets, a favourite of mine, and some pretty white ones, I have no idea what they are. Tulips are begining to come up, the lilac tree is budding, the garden is just about to burst into vibrant life!
This is my first spring up on the mountain so I have not seen the garden in full bloom. It is exciting watching all the changes going on out there!

I found this giant ant hill, crawling with bull ants. I got too close and had the little buggers crawling on my feet, oh no! They have such nasty, stinging bites too. Lesson learned, never wear Birkenstocks around an ant hill. What a moron. The Colonel had to come and rescue me, then retrieve the Birki's which I had kicked off in a frenzy while trying to shake the ants off my feet.
