We finally got decent rain yesterday with fantastic thunder and forked lightning. It was 6pm and the street lights came on

The weather has been so good lately that most of their discoveries have been of sunny spots to snooze in! The colder weather in the last few days has perked them up to be more adventurous..... but spring sunshine to snooze in is too big a treat for them to pass up on.  8)
Rolling in fallen cherry blossom and chasing dandelion clocks is pretty hard work, you know.... and so the old girls need their rest and so two hours walking and several hours sleeping it off are therule around here.  :)

Maggi I drove past your house the other day and couldn't believe all the cherry blossom, it was like a sea of pink. I can imagine the girls rolling in it  :D

King Winter still lingers some places! And a rainy day too. . .

Brilliant, I wonder when the sun rises here in Aberdeen. I have never been awake early enough to see it happen  ::)

Will somebody tell the thrush that wakes me up at 5.30 a.m. singing from the next door neighbour's TV aerial that it's NOT SPRING! >:(

Thanks Mark that's great I will keep that link. I have never been awake that early. Maybe Anthony you could send the thrush over here and I might see the sunrise ;D

Today two trees down, one large shrub, two Rhododendrons blown out the ground and for the rest of the garden I really don't want to look. :'(
