It will be the #Equinox today at 14:46Z, which is in just less than six hours from posting this. This presages the start of #Spring in the more heavily populated #NorthernHemisphere and #Autumn in the #SourthernHemisphere.

On a local note, the weather here has been absolutely gorgeous for the past week and it looks like it will continue for several days yet.

It's now officially Spring.

You can tell because Lidl has just started selling bark chips and compost again.

Australia may be well known for the plethora of unfriendly animals that want to bite you or do you in like snakes, spiders, sharks, crocodiles, and drop bears; but now here is something else you can beware of.

The Australian Swearing Owl more commonly known as the Frogmouth Owl, will help to make your stay here upsetting and enraging. Hunting by night the owl will sit in a tree by day and spend the whole time swearing and cursing loudly and profusely. This, along with its huge beak, distinguishes it from the beautiful and cultured owls found in the #NorthernHemisphere.

It has an incredible vocabulary consisting solely of the foulest and most disgusting language, particularly if tourists are known to be in the area.

Feel me now.
I am fertility and creativity.
I am the abundance of the harvest.
I am the abundance of life.
I create and nurture all being.
Feel my presence.

We made it!
But why does it feel like it takes so much longer to warm and lighten up than it did to get cold and dark??
