Three hours later

Snuffles went outside and asked with a quizzical look on her face "What was all that about?"
The snow melted quickly on the car windows, and suddenly it was gone, as if it had never appeared.
They say "If you don't like the weather in England, wait five minutes".
Now you can see what they mean!

April in London

On Friday it was 18 degrees. I was in sandals with a t shirt and a long striped brown, orange and yellow skirt. It was glorious at school and the kids played outside and we all felt cheery and 'springy'.
Forty-eight hours later....sigh, this is England!

I do love watching Snuffles in it, she is surprised (again).

Senita and the orchid twins.

HAPPY CACTUS MONDAY friends, and fellow 'cactuteers'....teric, margaret and welcome to our newest member, studiololo.

I have two single stem orchid plants in my bathroom (which is an ideal atomsophere for them). They are both magnificent, and flower twice a year. Every now and then I carry them downstairs to visit Senita. I drew this yesterday (with the snow falling outside in the background).

What is this stuff?

This morning we've had hail, rain, sleet, light snow and sunshine all in the space of one hour.
Snuffles went out there to investigate when the snow started falling...every so softly - it didn't even settle. It was hilarious to see the confusion on her face. She wanted to play with it, but it wasn't really there. She stayed out for quite a while (which she doesn't do in the rain), pondering on the matter. But finally came in again, drenched and bemused/confused, only to be bathed in sunshine about 10 minutes later...
She's not the only one who is fascinated by it all.
'If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes.' (that's what the locals say!)
My garden seems to like it, everything's suddenly blooming and turning green.
