Lime.

Written on Wednesday, the 31st of August, 2011.

I can’t seem to make myself believe that it’s winter. Probably because the native trees all still have their leaves, and it’s been about 20 degrees C most days that we’ve been here and there has only been one cloudy day so far. It feels like mid Autumn. There are some signs that Spring is on its way: some of the trees have started blooming in the backyard, and we’re supposed to have a cold and wet snap this weekend. But overall, my northern hemisphere mind cannot reconcile the fact that I have somehow skipped over six months of weather. It is truly odd. I can’t imagine the transition that lies in wait for me at the end of this semester. Jet lagged and seasonally confused? I’ll probably get off the plane in long underwear and a sundress.
