Heading Towards Summer In Canberra

The year moves on towards xmas and the season is changing. We are heading towards summer  and the trees outside my home are no longer clothed in pink blossoms, the leaves are now a purplish brown and the trees have fruit on them.

Ce’Nedra eats the fruit, and her mother assures me that it is okay to eat.  Varinia is an earth mother who has studied Wicca and the ways of the nature so she knows what she is talking about in regards to the fruits of the earth. And Cedie hasn’t gotten sick so it must be okay. Paula and I tried some of the fruit, not actually sure what it is, Cedie says they are plums but they are more like purple crab apples - very tart.

The change of seasons is just one of the things I love about Canberra.  When I am in Brisbane in Queensland, everything is green all year round and it is really only the blooming of the red Poinciana and  the gorgeous  purple Jacaranda trees, that show that summer has arrived.
