Well...we've had the daffs & crocuses,bumblebees & butterflies and sandals out of winter hiding!And now that last,but all important true sign of British Spring...hail & thunder!!!It's absolutely mad out there!

I have put up the water butts and jokingly said to SD 'we'll have a heatwave and no rain this year now'

[allotmentlady]

i heard on the news the other day that Spring was 21 March at 7.45am.......its great to see the daffs and then lambs out.......just want the blasted weather to cheer up.

The grass will be too wet to work so I'm looking at next week!!

OMG! This is really trying my patience!

go and sit in the shed in the rain with a brew, take in all the smells, thats if it has a shed, many a time I love to sit listening to the rain or am i just weird?

It's gale force here, had to keep all my seedlings indoors or they'd be scattered all over the country by now

Nags coming back in AGAIN tonight, chooks are happy cause the stable doors are open and they can scrabble around in them.

COME ON SPRING..........

....and then there was calm!(just in time for getting the kiddies!,did you put the lids on yer butts 'iskie?)
That's got to be the bestest thing about Spring showers...don't last that long & how fresh everything looks & smells after!

Nags????

[SarzWix]

Nags????

Horsies I think

It's been really crazy weather here today, sunshine one minute, black skies the next. The wind was rattling windows last night, but it's dropped a bit now, and it's reeeally cold! I noticed my tulip's leaves looking quite big today though, so they must think Spring has started

Nags coming back in AGAIN tonight,

Have they started to lose their coats yet???

[Glutton4...]

My Nags (yup, four-legged fertilizer machines) are still in at night, but only until this wind dies down. I thought the stable roof was going to take off yesterday The Chooks are fed up being blown from one side of the garden to the other, and keep looking at me as if it's my fault

Yesterday was brilliant sunshine all day, today its dull and windy but so far no rain, I have spent another day at the lottie. I put my spencer mix sweetpeas on one side of the gate same as I did last year, and Mrs Bolton on the otherside, last year I put my sunflowers there but they damaged the fence. I have loads of sweetpeas and I think I might put them along the fence at the sides in colour blocks.

Have they started to lose their coats yet???

Islay my 26yr old mare is covered in loose hair the rest aren't, and Di I call 'em nags 'cause that's what the old grumps do, constantly.

....,did you put the lids on yer butts 'iskie?)

aye lass I did that - SD is keen to see if he has positioned everything probably so that the rain runs the right away

[Victoria26]

sigh another torrential rain storm...

... I've resolved to make a big pot of lentil soup and stay in tonight!
