Its the first day of December, its officially the first day of Summer, and the borders to NSW and Victoria have been thrown open. As if she didn't want us to miss her appearance, summer has stormed in with heatwaves affecting many parts of Australia and the temperatures have broken records. They say they will abate but there is no doubt that our world is getting warmer.
Nevertheless we are celebrating so very much. The appearance of the first bloom on our poinciana in the garden. The hive bursting with activity and promising a pot of honey - we would not dare deprive them of more. The promise of some family over the festive period.
The birds are abounding - my latest is a pied currawong who sings to signal its arrival. I cannot tell if it is male or female so if you want to help me name it please suggest a unisex name.
Lets hope summer leaves us feeling warmed by its rays but not parched, and its a gentle end to this challenging year but an energetic and colourful start for 2021.
