This week's topic: Anything to do with spring! Do you have a spring photo to share of your yard, your house, or decorations? Spring cleaning tip? Spring craft idea? I love this time of year and can't wait to read your posts!
In Australia we are in Autumn, and here on the Northern Rivers, NSW, the temperature is still warm, today 26C, and our average day temperature in Winter is 21C. So we don't have the change in season here, and Spring Cleaning is not a tradition as such. I know we are more likely to do some extra cleaning when we are expecting guests to stay, rather than at a particular time.
The first day of Spring, by the calendar, is 1st September, and has been declared Wattle Day in honour of our national flower. There are 950 species of wattle and it is a joy to see them along the roadsides in August and September particularly.

Happy Spring to all in the Northern hemisphere, and a happy Autumn to all those approaching Winter.
God Bless.

We visited Sydney and the Blue Mountains in the late 90s about this time of year, and it was so beautiful to experience autumn in that part of the world, when at home we were gearing up for summer. That was also the tirp where I fell in love with scones. :)
It's fascinating to learn you're experiencing Autumn while we're experiencing Spring. The wattle flower looks unique and very pretty...
How fun to stop by and read this post. It's great to hear how other parts of the world are! Thanks so much for joining in, Jan. :)
