Springa, she has sprunga

Spring officially began about 2 and a half hours ago. Can you feel it? Sure!

I have to say that March this year has not been at all like the dread normal March, which is usually so snowy, cold, long and awful that it is my 2nd most hated month, following the eternal depths and despair of darkness that is called November. But this year, well, March has been positively European in its springiness. C'est si beau.

I guess in Australia autumn started today. Is that how it works? Seems logical.

Last night a girl scout appeared at my door, fund-raising. She was selling things for the garden, so I ordered peat moss, sheep manure, and seeds for vegetables, herbs and container plants. I'm ready to get growing.

For some reason we officially start out seasons at the beginning of the month, so 'officially' autumn started on March 1. In true autumn fashion, its going to be 33C today! We all reckon it the last hurrah of summer, one that we would all like to forget. (Summer having 'officially' started on December 1).
