umm ... what is Swiss ... I can guess the dotted bit ... It is probably just the name that is different. I suspect you would judge Australia to be seasonless. We can see it, and feel it, but the extremes that you folk endure is not thrust upon us.
Oh welcome back, dear Brattcat. I had to Google 'dotted Swiss' but, of course, I needn't have bothered as it's exactly as you show in the photograph. Except you can't make a nightie of blossoms - oh hey, perhaps you can...
Whose obsessing about dandelions, Jack? They make a delicious tea (good for the back) and they're not bad in salads, either, though I'd hesitate using them for either if they've already been treated with Weed B Gone. That stuff leaves a nasty chemical taste on the tongue.
Some things are looking good here. I hope there will be some blooms and butterflies soon. We have had lots of rain. That seems to have made everything lush.
What are you doing down here in Paradise? And why would you voluntarily leave Paradise?
And whatcha mean "hot"? This ain't hot! Come back in August!
I played golfs this morning and it was cool and breezy and even now it's only about 75. And we have no swiss cheese to sweep up on our sidewalks. At least so far as I know!
Well, it looks as if I am a bit late for the witty repartée! I would not want any of Jack's dandelion Weed-Bgone soup, but I do love your dotted Swiss path, a perfect description!
Welcome back. If someone had mentioned spotted Swiss to me, I would have thought they were talking about moldy cheese.
We don't have many dandelions in Arizona, and whenever Julie sees a field of them on our travels and comments about their color, I have to tell her they are a weed, not a flower.
I"m laughing at the fact that "dotted swiss" was not readily known by everyone. That's what is so fascinating about blogging. We all learn from each other. I had dotted swiss dresses and I think curtains at one time. :) V
PS And Jacob knows HOT and so do Genie and I! Whew.
One cat prowls around small town Vermont.

J's car is covered with yellow. Musta parked under a forsythia. Ha!
So happy we are at a point where there actually are blossoms and petals to admire.
Welcome back, brattcat; love the dotted Swiss . . .
So nice to know you are back! And this picture is beautiful, a carpet of flowers!
Have a nice week ahead,
Léia

I always loved pink snow.
thank you for your kind comments. MB
Wonderful way to portray the Spring.
Such a wonderful comparison. I haven't seen something made of dotted Swiss in ages.
Could have been a maple tree, Birdman. Our car is also caked with yellow pollen.

And now we can begin obsessing about the dandelions again!!! Quick, hand me my Weed B-Gon.

Each season has its own kind of flakes..
Welcome back, dear Brattcat!..
and some of us are flaky, regardless the season...i'm just anticipating your comment, jacob.

Thank You very much for congratulation!
Get the broom!

Glad you're back. White snow, white little flowers - how can we flatlanders tell the difference?
What a beautiful way to describe this lovely scene!

It snowed in mid May one year!
Dotted swiss reminds me of an Easter dress my mother made for me... maybe it was the spring landscape that inspired her fabric selection.
