A beautiful summer

What a lovely summer it has been. After a heat wave end to spring, it felt as though we were in for another blistering, long, hot summer. What a relief to be wrong. Plants are happy, flowering and flourishing. Days are mild and the rain has been regular, topping up tanks just when we need it. Birds are nesting, insects are busy, kangaroos are over their heads in grass, farmers are smiling and gardeners are madly planting.
