Today's Nice Happening.

I was out gardening today when I spotted my lone March bumblebee lying on a near-defunct crocus flower. It looked dead. I thought it rather sad, so I touched it gently and it moved. More than that, it climbed onto my finger. I carried it to a clump of vigorous primroses and set it down. Not interested; it just sat on a leaf waving its front legs in the air. So I put my finger in front of it again, and on it climbed. I carried it to some little, star-shaped blue flowers that I don’t even know the name of, but which have centres laden with pollen. I placed it gently on the edge of one. It took to that flower like a baby to its mother’s breast – feeding away like a good ’un. Gosh, that made my day.
