Blessed Midsummer! :D Also that picture is so spot on for how the season feels to me. The grass stalks empty of grain and the land drying out.

The weather here has been all over the place but in a different way. We've had two days of 40, but Christmas itself will be 29, which is *very* unusual here. Usually in Perth, Christmas week is like...35-40 every day. Climate change is strange!
