We’ve had beautiful spring weather the last few days, but today a southerly is blasting through. We’ve had over 2 inches of rain with high winds and temps in the 40s! Brrr! It’s not often that it gets this cold this late in October. Monday was Labour Day and it’s traditionally the day that everyone works in their gardens. It wasn’t the nice sunny weather that we’d gotten used to. We had some rain but it cleared up for part of the day, so I was able to get these photos of some of the new growth in our garden.

Today, however, these photos would be quite impossible. I was pleased to have taken them yesterday.

Spring is sprung (although this week winter roared back for a last stand). I took these photos last week, when it was sunny with temps in high 70s and breezy skies.
