Summer still has ages to run, but it’s been a bit cooler these last few mornings (I actually pulled up the duvet last night). For the first time I’ve been able to sense that autumny/Easter smell. Lovely. 🙂 ---

It’s supposed to be winter here but except for a week back in December it’s been much more like early spring. ---

Roll on March-April. It gets better. Then it rains and is so cold we moan about that, next. 🙂 ---

It was like late autumn/early spring here right up until a few days ago, when it was hot and humid for 2 or 3 days. Then we had a big rain and the temperature came down again. We’re enjoying it while it lasts 🙂 ---

We had late spring for a while, now it’s more like our winter, or most other people’s autumn or spring. I guess spring since the flowers are blooming but the freeze warnings feel more autumnish. ---

Hmmm… it’s winter with a hint of spring here. It’s been cooler this week. Temps only in the 60s! However, we’ve had several weeks of mid 70s weather where I’ve even worn shorts. Those are F temps, not C temps. We Amurrkins are rebels. We don’t need no stinkin’ Celsius.
