First Day of Autumn Faeries.
So here we are after the longest of summers, the hottest and the driest in living memory so much so that Australia wide a collective sigh was heard accross the continent when March heralded in Autumn. Where we live it will still be summer till late March and still T Shirt and jeans weather till April's end... April is glorious in Australia and May...my favourite time of the year... I just love Autumn and see it as my reward.
So I was pleased to see the first of this lot hanging off the branches in the early misting rain...RAIN. We have rain today...jut a little...and just a week after we had to buy $300 worth of water for our household tanks and it tastes of metal from the tanker...we are fussy we lucky ones with rainwater tanks...
And the faery with the big blue tear, well once I was asked and declared the blue tears were tears of wisdom...but today they might just be raindrops.

Oh Autumn. I forget that you guys down in Australia are in different seasons as well.

I am so with you, about seeing RAIN,it was glorious to see it in so much abundance this week. We are in a severe drought at the moment and the highland lakes are really low. For some reason they didn't ration watering last summer, probably because it was election time, this is such a stupid, stupid country.
You are such a talented artist by the way as well as writer.
Thanks for the comments on my blog. My comments re Gordon were were wrongly worded, in that he knows hormone treatment is dangerous, he was just thinking there must be alternative to all these hot flushes. Unfortunately because of all the medications I am on, I can't try out herbal remedies as they might interfere. And yep, not even thinking of taking HRT, would have tried it years ago if I wasn't so concern about the other life threatening side effects. Hot flushes are nothing compare to staying alive!
