Autumn, Fall, call it what you will & win

It’s that time of year again, my favourite season, Autumn.
What a relief after the horrendous heat of Summer, a brief respite before the Winters’ frosts arrive.

This is our first Autumn in our new home, and it’s so lovely to see the changes in the area:
Late-blooming crepe myrtles all along the street in all different colours, the end of our first tomato crop, neighbours venturing out with the lovely weather.

Even the cat is loving it, sunning himself near the vegie patch as I write.

It also means I have more energy, which is great.
~Apparently the tiredness of CFS is exacerbated by high temperatures, which also includes hot baths, showers and overheating generally.

Explains why I’ve been able to catch up with my blogging & photography, doesn’t it? So hopefully we can all expect great things from me in the months to come.

Just let me win lotto, so that we can spend Summers in Tasmania, okay?

Which season is your favourite, and why?

Celebrations and a giveaway…

Howdy y’all!

The Kidz have been watching SpongeBob (the Texas is Stupid episode), and I’ve gotten caught up in the phraseology. But Texans, please don’t get offended ’cause I don’t have an opinion either way about Texas.

So I believe I mentioned a celebratation? Well we’ve got plenty of reasons here in the UpsideDownHouse. No Carrie, I am not carrying your namesake in my blessed womb.
