The noise of long hot dry days, has been broken
by the clear signal of autumn. We can garden in shorts and T-shirt without
desperately seeking shade. An Easter weekend which brought us a grateful
soaking of 34 millimetres of rain.
Our Southern hemisphere mediterranean autumn,
walks hand in hand with Northern gardeners delighting in spring. The garden is
stretching gracefully.

| Lampranthus seedheads open in the rain |
Walking on our Karoo Koppie I found
flowers in a subtle range of colours. Wait, those should be a star-spangled
lemon yellow in September! The vygie
seedheads had opened in the rain.
