Yes, we've been having a modicum of rain each week. (Still in drought, though.) Our reservoir dam is now up from only 1% to 4% capacity....lol! And we continue on Level 4 water restrictions.
BUT
even the little rain we've had has greened up everything.
Weeds are growing in profusion,
and the sounds of lawn mowers are heard once more!
Everything is bursting out in new growth.

Yes, all over town there are glorious plants.
Definitely Spring!
But someone should tell Mother Nature that
we're in the southern hemisphere--
Autumn begins on Sunday!
BOL BOL we have come to the conclusion over here that Mother Nature and Old Man Winter have an off spring named...CONFUSION!!
ReplyDeleteCrazy pants weather indeed. But what a treat in Autumn to see the lovely blooms

Shower with a good friend.
