April Showers

I’m not sure that saying applies to the Southern hemisphere, does it?  Or maybe it does?  I don’t know enough about the world to say. 

The lack of rain has led to some gorgeous, crisp autumny days, and there are indeed many May (or June now) flowers around.

Because it’s so cold in the morning, the roses are very slow to open, and when they do, they just stay and stay.  These ones are over a week old, with no signs of dying yet.

Gotta love roses, yes?
