I still find it interesting how the seasons are opposite on that side of the world!
We're beginning our descent into winter over here. I live on the west coast, so it's basically just going to rain for about 6 months. I love the cooler temperatures, and winters are pretty mild here compared to the rest of Canada.
I often miss REAL winters. Over AT LEAST the last 15 years I haven't seen the type of winters we used to, & I've lived in this region for over 40 years.
I've often told my sons that winters when they were growing up were NOTHING compared to what they were when we were younger (I mean the 1970's-80's). For example, our family was driving TO Chicago during the blizzard of 1979. My father had to follow in a semi's path until we reached an area where it was clear enough to drive. Our family also lived in Superior Wisconsin--near Duluth. We averaged 8 feet of snow/year thanks to lake effect snow!

Sunset fishing is getting earlier and earlier. Catching a fish had nothing to do with it tonight. Beautiful out.
One direction had the moon sliver reflecting off the water. Other direction had the sunset.

The ONLY advantage this ridiculously warm weather has is that it is extending the growing season for my vegetable garden. UNFORTUNATELY, before we could properly place wire fencing around the plants, rabbits ate MANY plants' flowers. They killed my hot pepper plants, for example, & even ate up most of leaves on my okra plants. I ALWAYS start the seeds inside & plant the seedlings--not seeds.

That’s a shame about the veggies. Rascally rabbit. 
Crazy temperature change this week. High of 83 Tuesday, low of 34 on Friday morning

Our weather will change suddenly, too. We will get rain tonight and tomorrow morning--tomorrow it will only be in the mid to upper 60's. That's approximately 20 degrees less than today, & nearly 30 degrees less than this weekend, when it was close to 90!
