This time of year makes my heart sing!
It was 38* degrees yesterday (bleurgh), 30 degrees today (hmm), but it’s now cooling down with a plunge and a sigh. Not one day in the next week is going to be over 27 degrees, and there are chances of a shower here and there.
Soon, the green will show. I hold my breath. Here is what our autumn looks like.

Waaaaaa… I wanna go back to Australia.
And I was working in my garden yesterday thinking “I love the spring!”. I’ve violets and primroses in flower, a plum tree about to blossom, it was warm enough to go without a coat for the first time in months, and the birds were getting into some serious jamming.
Another benefit of reading this blog – 2 seasons in one!
I’m loving autumn mornings this week – it’s too warm at night still to sleep in the flanny PJ trousers, but they’re perfect to pull on for pottering around in the cool morning. This morning I even dragged out the (light) dressing gown.
Fab.
Really is the best time of year. How are your feijoas going Lauredhel? My tree has fruited early this year -usually I am picking at Easter time.
su: No fruit on them, but I didn’t expect that in the first year! They have about doubled in height over the summer, so I reckon that’s pretty good. And they look happy.
Yo, your autumn? It looks a little *pointy*.
And you thought it was just our fauna.
