Winter, autumn, or spring?

In Tasmania, the seasons blend together somewhat. It is winter, but autumn leaves still hand on some trees and the signs of spring begin appearing in mid-winter July. I love the seasons, even if they sometimes blend together! I am rejoicing in the coming of spring.

I took this picture yesterday.


These tiny flowers were blooming in my garden at the end of July. I'm glad I came home on the weekend two weeks ago, or I'd never have seen them. They were dead when I went to look at them last night.


A couple of weeks before I took the picture of the crocus, I captured Esther looking well matched with the last of autumn . . .



With the first signs of spring, I am reminded of the greatest gift I am anticipating in the spring . . . twins! They are not due until early December, but twins are induced before full term usually so they should be born in November! I can't wait to post a picture of myself holding them both!
