Spring Has Sprung

My sinuses are on overdrive at the moment and Spring is only just officially blooming.

Every day I walk into our house after work and all I can smell is Jasmine, it is having the best blooming season ever and my sinuses are not impressed. The flowers are stunning, and the scent is heady but maybe not a good garden plant for me.

Still it is staying, it has grown so lusciously over the old tree stump in our backyard that I can not bear to kill it off. Look at all those buds just waiting for burst forth.

Happy Spring Days, my sympathies if you suffer like I do!!

I Think Spring Is Coming

Today is a balmy sunny day, around 23C, with a brisk breeze, apparently storms are on the horizon from tonight with rain for most of next week. But today, well a little taste of the Spring that is coming I think. I've done my washing and it is almost dry, not bad for a Winter's day.

We need a long winter here in Perth to top up our water supply dams, but somehow I don't think that is going to be the case, if today is anything to go by.

My hayfever is already popping, with itchy eyes and ears and nose. Hang in their Winter we really need you to for just a little while longer.

Blue Sky Days

Oh how I yearn for a cloud in the sky, maybe some gentle rain on my window but all I have is blue sky days stretching endlessly on and on.

Now don't get me wrong I love autumn and these beautiful sunny days are wonderful - warm during the day and crisp at night - but oh for some variance when I look out my window.

Fickle I know, in a month or so I will be asking for it all back when the winter storms rage and I can't do my washing and I get wet getting to the car and all I get is grey skies overhead. But that is why I love autumn - normally I get both sunshine and showers.
