Where did winter go?

 Is it just me or did winter just flash past? I can't believe we are at the end of August already. I know they say that the older we get the faster time goes. Good grief. I'm only 46 (and I do so only!) What will it be like when I'm 66?

I think the realization struck me on the weekend. I was back in Melbourne for work last week, and when I got home the spring bulbs had burst into life. Sure they had been growing away quite nicely, but the buds all seemed to burst into colour at once.
 
The winter colour is coming to an end.

But the spring colour is starting to fill the gaps.

I love spring!

    1. Thanks Annie. I bought Mr a new camera for his birthday, and I've only just started to use it. Never used a SLR camera before, so a lot of my shots are a bit out of focus.

  4. Hello Megan, wonderful to see your post and your collages are just gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous.
    It's warming up way too fast for my liking. It's only the end of August and I've switched to the Summer weight bedding plus one extra blanket!! Wondering how much longer we'll need the heater on. I try and drag it out through September, I love having the wood heater going in the evenings.
    Hope all is well with you, enjoy Spring it is such a lovely time of year.

    1. Thanks Claire. Perfect weather for getting out in the garden during the day, and snuggling up in the evening. My sort of weather!
