First day of spring

September 1st is the first day of spring here in Australia.  And what a first day we've had.  The high for that day was 24 C, and it felt so nice to finally experience nice weather.

According to the weather bureau here, we've had the coldest winter in 12 years.  It sure was not MY coldest winter in 12 years.  More like the WARMEST winter in 34 years!  We've experienced one cold day where it actually went down to 1.4 C.  Other than that, the lows varied between 6 and 10 C, and the highs varied between 15 and 18 C.  Not bad at all.

The spring is here and I am expecting to see green buds starting to appear on the deciduous trees.  Coniferous and eucalyptus trees stayed green throughout winter.

I am trying to wrap up my taxes and any other administrative tasks that I have for the next 9 months, because I don't want to waste good weather days on administrativia.  Weekends are for going to the beach!  :-)
