Monday Morning Photo - Wisteria Time in Andalucia

How quickly spring comes around after the short winter here in the Sierra Sur de Jaén. After lots of very much needed rain we´re back to the normal cloudless blue.  My garden is shooting incredbily with the moisture and now sunshine. And my beautiful wisteria flowers grandly albeit it short-lived. The big black carpenter bees love it. Each flowering season reminds me of the Botanical Gardens in Malaga and the ´tunnel´ of wisteria that I haven´t yet caught in bloom. April is a good time to plan to go if it´s on your list.  Here´s the botanical garden link La Concepción Botanical Gardens. And a sneaky peak at the wisteria. See the Monday Morning Photos list.

No Warning for Snow in Jaén

Boy did Google let me down today. Rain it said. We got a heavy snowstorm while I was over at Casa El Regüelo showing an inspector around. One minute it was rain, then a few stray snowflakes then it fell. Big time. Huge flakes landed and settled in no time.


I slipped and slithered up and down hills to get home. Son number three was already there. The first sign of snow and they call the bus and get them home.

Then my lesson kids´mothers started to phone, "Don´t come up the hill in this!" They don´t know it´s only snow and life has to go on, but anyway a pleasant unplanned afternoon of was enjoyed - inside.

Jim our not very intelligent dog, stood out in it, licked it up and played with it. He hates rain, but with this he had no idea he was getting wet.

Still (hopefully) that´s our one day (actually more like two hours) of snow over for the winter.

Hmmm, What´s this stuff then?
