Merry Midsummer

[calissa]

A merry belated Midsummer to everyone celebrating it. And a merry Yule to all my friends in the Northern Hemisphere.

I took yesterday off to mark the occasion and spent some time cooking myself pancakes and contemplating the looming spectre of 2016.

The weather here has been all over the place. We had 37 Celsius over the weekend (with a minimum of 20 in between). However, the last two days have been much cooler and grey, with some rain. My vegetable garden is lapping it up.

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!

Blessed Midsummer to you!

The photo does capture the season nicely, doesn't it? As I said above, Midsummer has always been blue and gold to me, with the endless sky and the dry grass.

Climate change is definitely strange. We don't get the sustained heat quite as much as you do. But when I got up this morning, it was only 9 degrees! I'm finding it a bit too chilly.
