When I woke up it was 8 degrees outside and still 15 degrees inside. It is still a wonderful novelty to have a house that is properly insulated, my old house would have been almost as cold inside as out. I also have a magpie sitting on the back fence singing for me.
It's lovely to have some cooler but still clear and sunny days. I've got the next week off and have some gardening plans and it looks like the weather is going to fully cooperate. Unlike the last break in spring where it was near constant rain. The current plan is to do some work on edging and weeding the back garden over the next couple of days, then have a load of mulch delivered on Wednesday. I'll get a eucy mulch for the native area and to do the path area along the fenceline, then I might get a couple more bales of sugarcane mulch to refresh the herb garden.
