Wagtails are dotting are path, in a tree sits a handsome jay

clouds are trying to break bringing warmer weather to our day

whilst the wild dog rose has started to flower

the acacia and wisteria are hanging from every bower

It was really raining cats and dogs again today

we did not think that Taj and Jan would show up to play

i always new that Jan was made of sterner stuff

when it comes to taking out our two balls of fluff

The hirondelle are catching the midges on the wing 

Milou is chasing butterflies and doing her own thing

We met Elvira, Klaus and Alice, with whom we continued our walk

Alice, Milou and Pom-pom romped while we carried on discussion and talk

The skies continue to be thunderous and grey

it has rained all morning and is forecast for the rest of the day

Milou and i walk by the dam

together we discuss the next few days contingency plan

Seven tiny chicks flat after mum in an obedient line

the first of the season, but i trust more to come in time

many more shrubs are in bloom, the air leaden with heavy scent

it followed us around the track and everywhere we went

Milou is again in my bad books

a roll in something disgusting is more or less all it took

she also behaved badly with a friend around the lake

i hope she grows out of these habits quickly, for both our sakes

We went to a floral fair in Tournay

unfortunately the weather had blown the store holders away

we went instead, for a forest walk 

at an arboretum, of which we had heard much talk

the mountains were half hidden but could have been sublime

we will definitely re-visit another time
