SPRING FIGHTING TO ARRIVE BUT A COLD WIND CHASING

 


Arabella agreed to a quick trip outdoors despite the cold wind, mind you not that she didn't keep reminding me how cold it was !


Complaints about having to stand in a wind tunnel !

Comments about her now wearing any blue ! 


Giving a shiver and saying she feels like there is someone behind her !

Where as Nancy was happy to just go with the flow, which is just as well since I then realised she is still wearing her Christmas dress under her coat !

More than happy to sit on a branch near the Black Tulip Magnolia flowers that are starting to open.

Arabella would have informed me , she'd be contacting her lawyer should I ask her to do something so dangerous !


Well it getting quite chilly, since I left it so late to start taking the photos, so back inside for some hot chocolate to warm them up and save me a lawyers letter .

HAS SPRING SPRUNG YET ?

 


Ava seems to be the one getting to go out and about in the garden , I think it's because she is wearing such a lovely bright yellow coat that reminds me of spring. Plus she is also closest to the backdoor ! I may have to get her to swap places with one of her other sisters who are also wearing coats !.

Although the sun is shinning there is still a chill in the shadows, the weather is due to drop in temperature in the coming days.


 Ava also took time to visit with the famous Japanese cherry tree, now at least thirty plus years old having been purchased as a tiny stick in a plastic bag from Woolworth, that old magnificent store no longer with us. Someone needs to bring Woolworths back , in all it's old style glory. Old wooden counters, jars of pic n mix, queuing at each counter to get some cheese or ham etc. We need to bring back making shopping a lovely calm experience. 

What's not to love about this little flowering cherry tree ? 

Magda managed to get outside later, when the sun was behind the clouds and the day drawing in and have her photo taken with the Camelia's by the gazebo.


Naturally there is always someone who thinks they need to amend the pose ! Or he is checking about elf n safety !!


I decided while writing the post to just pop back out and take a few with Magda in a slightly different position to be surrounded by the Camelias but look at the difference in colour in just twenty minutes or so of the light changing.! 


Hopefully the weather will be nice again tomorrow, even if cold and some of the other girls can have a walk about outside.
