I also love to read about weather patterns so different from ours here in Australia. It's like being transported to another world. <br /><br />For is the end of January heralds the worst heat imaginable in February by March it begins to settle down, by April we're into autumn. <br /><br />Once I loved summer, but these days our summers tend to be more intense, too intense, though so far this year, with the odd exceptional day, the heat has not been too bad. In fact I'm thinking of putting on my cardigan right now.Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04015624747225433940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-17289421086554409442010-01-29T00:20:16.292-08:002010-01-29T00:20:16.292-08:00There is something about a sunset that stirs my so...There is something about a sunset that stirs my soul they must be a bit of heaven God shares with us from time to time.

I too will be glad to see the end of January, although I frightened myself when I realized that I can account for almost every day of February, and it hasn't even arrived. <br />Roll on March!Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-33857739362724027002010-01-28T13:07:52.142-08:002010-01-28T13:07:52.142-08:00Brave snowdrops...Brave snowdrops...Jinksyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01686101468214361004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-83399438541853966712010-01-28T12:36:55.275-08:002010-01-28T12:36:55.275-08:00Can't wait until you post snowdrops in bloom. ...Can't wait until you post snowdrops in bloom. Maybe I've said before that we don't get snowdrops around here -- mainly because we don't get any snow! I was able to buy some daffodils the other day. I buy them still in bud and put them on my patio table out side so that they will last a long time.ChrisJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550420299395301062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-40125111312380268632010-01-28T12:08:07.836-08:002010-01-28T12:08:07.836-08:00We had a spectacular sunset yesterday but both yes...We had a spectacular sunset yesterday but both yesterday and today have been quite mild.Crafty Green Poethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02486633917197181851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-80753121800754733172010-01-28T11:45:47.367-08:002010-01-28T11:45:47.367-08:00Hello Weaver,

In fact, in the last few days there have been temperatures as low as -27°C. And over the borders in Poland and Rumania into the -30's. No sign yet of a single primrose. Or a single crow doing housekeeping. <br />I've a new poem coming up on Ink,Sweat&Tears to do with all this. It's called A Thin Fox. I'll let you know when it appears. Be quite soon, I've heard.Gwil Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03305768121713053837noreply@blogger.com
