Walking this morning and a vase of flowers

I seem to have a terrible dose of hay fever, or an allergy to something. Stuffed up nose sneezing, head ache. It was a dreadful night last night hot and humid and not a lot of sleeping was done so we were up early this morning. The weather bureau promised rain, well we have had one short shower, made things smell nice but not what is needed. We walked the cliffs at Petrels and the boobyalla by the path was covered in these wonderful purple berries. I came home and slipped over the road to where the flowering gum is and snipped off a few leaves and one flower head. I think the neighbours might find me doing this more often, I do hope no body minds but I hate not having flowers in the house. Our weather has not been kind, cool for a couple of days and then back to the heat again, it would be lovely to live some where it was about 24 degrees C Back to 41 next thursday when we go to Adelaide. Oh joy.

Freezing rain, snow and 20 F. I'd gladly send you some cold to off set your heat. I'll have to get MY flowers at the market for the next couple of months. The way time is flying by, before I know it I'll be counting my frogs again.
xx, Carol

Horrible weather here too Penny, hot and humid. Rain is promised for Monday, but I will believe that when I see it.
I love flowering gums, the red ones in particular always look so magnificent.
Hope your hay fever, allergy or whatever it is has vanished by now. Cheers
