Finally spring
Almost 3 days of lovely sunshine after blustery winter weather and everything just seems that much brighter and happier. Of course the rain is setting in again this afternoon but at least we have had a glimpse of what may be yet to come. September really is a time of beginnings and new things, time to start planting at last( so long as the frosts are finally done), enjoy the blossom and new growth and see a riot of colours reappear. They are predicting a dry hot summer, I am hoping it will be not too dry or too hot.
The fungi season is just starting and really gets going in the next few months but they don’t like the dry. I have become addicted to forging new trails in the old growth bush and exploring along trap lines( possum and rat traps). Great exercise and it’s like a treasure hunt, you don’t notice how far you have walked or how many gully’s you have slid down, or ridges you have climbed. Never would have ever thought I would be so fascinated with fungi and now native orchids but it’s great to have the motivation to get out and explore.
Feeling better than I have for months, it must be the sunshine and warming up. Wishing I could share this amazing place with friends from afar.

Oh to sunshine. It has been so very hot here all summer. We are both more than ready for some open window weather.
Our house in Buccaneer is just a memory now. It has been tore down and taken away.
Sad, but we are happy in our new to us home.
Good to hear your feeling better. Take care enjoy those walks. Sending love.
