Sahara

Weird things our dear Mother Nature brought to us!
We have had tropical heats here, daily 30-33°C. Last week the winds brought a veil of the sand straight from the Sahara Desert! The laundry outside was dirty and window sills were dusted.There are local downpours and even hails. My husband´s barley got caught is such a hailstorm and part of it was damaged. Strange, it was just a narrow stripe,it looks like divided by a borderline - before it, the field is intact, after it there were hails.
Our village must be under a spell, it has been raining around but not a drop here! Still a lush greenery but thanks to the heat all the plants and flowers went crazy, you can see blooms which shouldn´t be together at all!
Our Tygr is hot, poor boy, sleeps in a flowerbed deep in a peoni bush.
Our Angus cattle are thirsty, we keep supplying them with a huge tank of water - now every day. A naughty calf stepped on my foot. Aw aw. Nothing serious, only a bruise. It might have been worse - a bull for example, or one of those huuuuge mother cows!

That sounds like the crazy weather we were having last week, except for the sand. Mother Nature needs to either
1Take a holiday and let some one who knows what they are doing take over.

2Come back from holiday and boot the crazy kid who's looking after things out because he doesn't know what he was doing.

The Foxgloves were booming when I took Losyn round the Sirhowy last Friday, they aren't suppised to be out until late June!

I agree with you!
Wow, the Foxgloves already! Well, as I have said - crazy!
