Spring has Sprung!
The cherry blossoms are out, the magnolias are blooming and even the pear trees are coming out in style.
Despite Niki's winterial preference, I was about to announce that here in Melbourne, Spring has definitely sprung! But Melbourne has weather as capricious as a starlet's hairstyle, and despite the fact that yesterday we had the warmest August night since they began recording such things, today I sit here, listening to hail fall on the roof. I can see the small icy pebbles hitting the ground - smack! smack! smack!
So yesterday I was thinking of little lamb cutlets and delicate salmon steaks. Now I think I'll go cook up a batch of lamb shanks - french cut, $2.00 each at the butcher's on special.

We are having very cold nights, foggy mornings and brilliant days. Like salad for lunch but casserole for dinner!
Hah! This warm weather today....I'm not impressed! I was in the city this morning, and I felt hot and sticky and generally blah. I was so relieved when the rain came through and the temperature dropped in the afternoon....thank goodness!!
I like the blossom photo but I don' know about where you are, but the blossom started flowering around me back in early June!! I was most annoyed; it was as if the trees decided to skip my favourite season completely!
And what's this about 24 degrees on Thursday??? Terrible! Awful!
Early June Niki?? That is very weird - the cherry blossom only started in August around here and even then I thought it was a bit early. But June?? My goodness. It is very interesting actually, how even being a few streets away can have an impact on when trees start blooming - I'll be driving around and notice that someone's magnolias are only just starting while my neighbours are at the end.
I have to say I enjoy the warm weather like Cin - it makes a big difference with a little one to be able to go out and run around to their heart's content.
And Barbara, I hope the weather improves so that you can have a lovely beach picnic, not quite like your recent one!
