Sometimes it snows in April

Or so the Prince song says. True too in Ireland; snow is not uncommon in April though in general it is unlikely. This photo is of the trees in the little park opposite our house and was taken about 10 minutes ago. Meanwhile, at the back of the house, the snow is sticking and starting to mount up....
Please excuse any mis-spellings involving a lack of 'c'...something wrong with the c on the keyboard.
The photo below is of a happy squirrel taken some days ago, when the weather was a lot warmer. We had brought out our bench from the basement and we put some unshelled nuts out. Like dining at the Ritz for the squirrels it seems as the walnuts and hazelnuts were gobbled up. They hold the nut in their paws and then just rotate it, using their teeth to split the case. Don't fancy getting a bite from a squirrel thats for sure....
