Warmer Weather

It was an odd day today. It was really cold this morning and then suddenly the sun came out and even though it was a bit brisk, it really was a lovely day. It took me a while to get going because things and people just kept happening, but when I did get outside, it was just so lovely. The neighbourhood was oddly quiet for a Saturday but there was a feeling of quietness…unlike yesterday where we had hoons, people shouting and banging car door, sirens, barking, miaowing. That too was unusual. The birds were just as noisy yesterday and today they we happy and contented. The wattle birds are back and that’s a sign of the weather warming. It was good to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine until it became too cold again and it was important to get a few things tidied up , because , as usual, the weeds are thriving. What is it with weeds? They are never affected by extreme conditions. They never get frost bitten. They don’t care if it’s hot and dry. They don’t fall over with too much rain. They just adapt and grow! Maybe we are growing the wrong plants! I think we need to start working on giant dandelions and plantain and thick stalked soursobs…
