We\u2019ve got a new guessing game called \u2018Winter or spring?\u2019 Every morning before we go outside, Mum says we have to guess whether it\u2019s going to be like winter or spring outside. To be fair, it\u2019s been quite easy this week and it\u2019s definitely been winter. By later in the day some parts of the garden do feel a little more like spring and the magnolia is making a valiant effort to come out. It is sadly showing some frost damage, but at least it\u2019s trying. The blossom it taking longer to make up its mind, but it\u2019s trying. The cherry fruit trees will get there soon and the apples are putting in a lot of effort. I\u2019m rooting for the apples as I do like to eat their fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mum thinks it would be better if I preferred pears. We have two pear trees and she doesn\u2019t even like their fruit. She\u2019s also suggested I leave the cider apples alone. There is a possibility they will be a little bitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ve got my paws well and truly crossed at the moment. If things go to plan there will be two matings of our dog breed in the UK this week. Two in the same week. I\u2019m beside myself with excitement. Mum says I need to remain calm as there is a lot that can go wrong, but I really hope everything works out. I need a fun day soon too so I can meet all the new dogs who I haven\u2019t been able to see so far. You can have as many Zoom calls as you like, but they just don\u2019t smell right \u2013 mainly they smell of whatever Mum has dropped in the keyboard while she\u2019s working, which would have been far better if it had still been fresh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
