    Yea! Eileen is seeing some green in her yard!!!
    And when things start growing there they do it in a hurry, very pretty colors to help remove the memory of white.

    Well, it is just a thrill to see all that colour. You must be well chuffed with how everything looks there. It's been worth waiting for, hasn't it?
    Those Polyanthus really knock my eyes out! They are gorgeous.

    Welcome to the club. Our garden is now covered in snow again, just when we thought we were done with that white stuff.

    I can't believe you & Droopy are getting more snow...is it unusual for this time of year?

    Nope. We usually have a snow fall or two in April. They are normally wet, gone in one day and do no harm. The lambing snow, the last of the winter. But it's still snowing here, and it's the third day with snow. We've got 20 wet cm - about 8 inches - on flat ground, and it's just no fun!
