no irritations this Monday
so I thought I'd show you all what winter looks like around here. Downunder, winter is June, July and August These first two photos were taken in June . clouds coming in from the hills same sky a little to the south. The next few photos are from July early morning sun rising into a clear pale blue sky my jade is flowering my new rhubarb has begun to grow the lemon verbena cutting which I thought was a dead stick has tiny new leaves at its base the ornamental plum trees are bare, but the last leaves have only just fallen I've been told that the fruit on these is inedible. Not so . I tasted some last summer, they were juicy and sweet and I had to get in quick before the birds got them all. this is the August photo, taken yesterday morning in fact. you can see the sky is completely grey , the wind was cold and it rained most of the day. So there it is, winter in Australia.
