We have had such warm weather lately it seems funny to get up and put a warm dressing gown on. March has arrived and so autumn begins.
At least I got up all the gum leaves. The neighbours have the most beautiful gum tree. It is filled with birds off and on all day. Everything from small finches , King Parrots, to very noisy Cockatoos.
However I have a love/hate relationship with it. As the sun goes down it glows like a burning bush. It has gorgeous yellow flowers in its flowering season, but, its bark splits every December and fills my garden and every other morning I have to rake up its leaves. If I leave it the ground becomes covered. Especially after a wind storm and being the neat freak that I am, I do like my yard to look spick and span. Still it is good exercise but very annoying.

Beautiful flowers.
I will be having some pink gum flowers in my wedding bouquet :)

without the seasonal shedding of the bark, the flowers of that tree possibly would not be as prolific. They are lovely. Yes, it is odd to start wearing dressing gown and slippers early mornings suddenly, but our days are just as warm as before. Enjoy your day, your painting, and your lovely garden. hugs p

So strange to me that you are having Fall at Easter time here :-) and your Christmas is in Summer !

I feel the same. I have just been reading about daffodils and violets blooming over there. I am going to clean up fallen leaves today.
