Just have a look at this, just took these pictures half an hour ago.  (Takes s minute to load)  I was jubilating too soon.

Well at long last, the weather has turned once again into sunshine (maybe i shouldnt shout too loud).  We have 21° in the shade and it is still rising.

It is strange, how quickly the weather conditions change here in the mountains.  For weeks-months we had rain and cold weather, and all around everything was looking juicy and green.

Then we had a spell of hot weather (8 days) with temperatures of up to 38° in the shade. During that time, the vegitation dried up and burnt, and all round it looked like autum because the trees were shedding their leaves and the bushes and plants turned orange and brown.

These last few days again we had constant rain, and once again all around everything is green and healthy looking, and all around the plants are sprouting and flowering.

Where they were harvesting the potatoes a few weeks ago and the acres were dug over and brown, now the Sweetkorn and the Korn is sprouting.

This nice weather does not only seem to affect the mood of the people, but it works its magic on nature too.  Everywhere you look, colours and flowers.  You cant feel anything but happy.

Unfortunatly not everyone apreciates the beauty of nature.

At the Finca Osorio, we met a few shool classes, and what sticks in mind is , that the small children have very few problems aproaching you about your dogs, once they have been assured that they are not dangerous. (The only danger with my dogs is, that they would lick you to death.) Mostly it is the teenage girls that hide screaching behind the boys or run away (mind you there are some lads that react like that too), but i think its all a ploy to get the boys interest.

My 2 Girls just ignore them and carry on walking.

After an hour, we headed back home, and on arrival, i went into the garden picked some oranges and made myself a nice healthy vitamin drink.

Now i will take myself and the mop outside to clean up the mess on the terrace which the weather has created the last few days.  Funny, im not even bothered.  Im just in a good mood.

Somehow it is undecided this morning how the weather will turn.  When i look in the direction of Las Palmas, im greeted with thick heavy rainclouds, but here in the mountains the clouds are broken up, the blue sky is shining through and the sun is warming us a little.  The temperature lies by 16° in the shade, but it feels a lot warmer.  We will just have to see how it develops.
