Weather Tuesday 20th September 2011

After a bit over a week away, I came back to 32 degrees and brilliant sunshine, thankfully no humidity yet. What a difference a couple of weeks can make, the comfortable cooler air has ended and warmer summer days are on the way. The Spring equinox seems to sneak up on me each year, coming not long after the end of winter, making me think our segregated seasons are not so apt in the subtropics. Bees are buzzing, native trees are full of blossom and the chooks are laying again. While it remains dry, weeding is a priority, before the roots gain strength with fresh rain and growth takes off.
This week several bushfires in have filled skies in South-east Queensland with a thick smoke haze, enough to give a taste in the back of your throat. Spring is almost over, as soon as the humidity begins I feel like it's Summer.
