Here is some webcam footage.

And here is a possible cause or is it a solution?

As I was on my way home from Zo's
Just about four years ago
The trees were putting on a show
That made my imagination glow.

I was so taken by their hues
I decided that what I'd do
Would be to show their beauty to the few
That meander my humble website through.

But seasons come and seasons pass
And I seemed forever on my arse,
So I forsook my pleasant task
And focussed on the daily farce.

And now that it is spring again
The buds renewed; my prospect changed.
Accepting claims of legerdemain
I present: "September blossoms in the rain".

In honour of International Walk like a Pirate Day the chooks went looking for buried treasure. 

I suppose that, somewhat like Swann, I am prone to spending too much time thinking about the past, and encountering forgotten memories through tenuous strings of association. But I remember well the sweet taste of this animal’s flesh and the place where we all sat down to devour it. A chance visitation at the right hour was good for me, but an earlier meeting at sea was unlucky for this fish.

Mum is very proud of her hippeastrums. Here is the first bloom of the year.

The bulbs are from the Casino house, but they’ve had a hard few years, being dug up and damaged over several moves. But they perservere.
