Spring wattle...

The weather today is delightful. One could be excused for thinking that it was the middle of spring, approaching summer, tee-shirt weather. My weekly trip for supplies saw the drive made with the window down and a cool breeze flying gently in my face as I drove. The wattles are brilliantly showing off their pre-spring flush of golden yellow and I noticed several unknown fruit trees on the sides of the road showing their first pinkish blossoms of the season.

Spring is indeed just around the corner with another bleak winter behind us here in the southern hemisphere. It is amazing what effects these warmer, sunny weather conditions can have on my mental state of the moment although a little more rain in these drought-ish times would not affect me detrimentally. I have really enjoyed these past few days off and feel rested and ready to return to the "mill" for another week of night shift monday night...
