It's Spring here. Today was a respectable 80 F and tomorrow will reach 87 F and go higher later in the week.

So you can imagine our SHOCK to wake up last Wednesday to WINTER!
SHE had to dig out her warm coat and gloves for our early morning walk.
The day had low temperatures, cold rain and biting winds.
Thursday was the same.
We didn't even get a walk on Thursday!
But to the east of us, about a 2-hour drive, it was even
worse!
They had snow and lots of it!
Main roads were closed.
Some trains couldn't get through.
SHE wouldn't take us to play in it though.....
These pictures are courtesy of Barb who lives to the north of us.
She's a friend of Frankie Furter's and she sent them to him. He forwarded them to us. We'd seen all the snow on the news, but didn't get any pictures.
So Thanks Barb and Frankie.
Well...as you get warmer, we get cooler!! Your flowers are very pretty but how about that snow???? It if fun to play in, I love it.

I love your flower pictures. They make me feel good because we are getting a little colder here. No snow yet, thank goodness!! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteKangaroos in the snow. Who would have thought it possible ?
ReplyDeleteWe were secretly hoping it would snow here, she's none of us (not even the peeps) have ever seen snow... But it didn't...
ReplyDeleteLovely pix. We think you have our weather and we have yours. Here it should be cold but it is sunny. Have a lovely Monday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly

ReplyDeleteGlad that your weather is getting back to what it SHOULD be though.

ReplyDeleteThe weather has gone mad everywhere. Spring to winter just can't be right!!! Your flower photos are lovely.
ReplyDeletePlease oh PLEASe send the snow my way.
ReplyDeleteNora
Heehee, we think it so cool that we can watch your spring bloom as autumn creeps towards us here. An overnight season reversal is too much, but we'll take some snow, please :)

Howdy Girls, same here mates. We had hot weather, then last Thursday it snowed AT OUR HOUSE!! Not much mind, but it was snow. Isn't the weather strange for Spring. Love your photos especially the one with the snow and kangaroos. Mum is green with jelly you have flowers in your garden cause with our help, somehow nothing seems to survive hehehe. Have a great week. No worries, and love, Stella and Rory
ReplyDeleteG'day
ReplyDeleteso glad that you like the pics, Frankie was a gentleman for sure, he did ask if he may forward the pics onto you, yes it is such strange weather for our Spring, Your garden looks beautiful, mine is a mess, only thing I manage to grow are weeds, but my boys and I do have an acre to care for.
Hugs Barb, and her boys ( Billy and Toby)
Wow, we were all set to say how much we loved all your flowers, especially the birds of paradise!!! And then, kaboom, you showed us that snow - now THAT is something that will certainly get us all excited!!! Hope we see some snow this winter and you get lots of more nice days.
ReplyDeleteWoos - Phantom, Thunder, Ciara, and Lightning
We KNOW that you would rather see pretty flowers than cold yucky snow!
ReplyDeleteLove ya lots,
Mitch and Molly
The world has turned upside down!!
ReplyDeleteHave a good week

ReplyDeleteLoveys Sasha
Dudes!! Whoa!! How did you get our weather and we get yours??? That's incredible and a bit weird! ;-) Too bad you didn't get to go and play in the snow though! I heard about your weird weather even on our local news (in California) so it must have been really odd! Stay warm my friends!
ReplyDeleteGood grief!! That was like us getting snow in August...the weather is very confused lately...perhaps s/he needs to go on a re-fresher course about what to do when??
ReplyDeleteStay warm ladies...or do you need to stay cool now...now we're confused!
Wally & Sammy
WOW!!!!
ReplyDeleteYuck Snow ~ Hate Snow! We are still having really nice days. A few tress are beginning to turn colors.
ReplyDeleteThanks for being a friend
Sweet William The Scot
I suppose that the snow is nice. We always enjoy the first one or two times it snows. After that, it's not so great. Oh well, we'll deal with it!
ReplyDeleteThat is a little too close for those flowers to have to worry about. I can't believe you are going into spring and we are going in to winter. What a wonderful world.
ReplyDeletebert and my vickie
Oh we just can't wait for snow. We wonder if Sebastian likes it. He can't remember if he does, but he sure doesn't like rain or wet feet, so this may get interesting.
ReplyDeleteMorgan, Sebastian and the Porties
Crazy weather. Your garden is lovely.
