coming soon....

It is the final week of winter in Australia and it is likely that you might hear many an Aussie cheering. The end of winter means warmer weather, longer bouts of daylight, and the coma inducing, much dreaded..... cricket (boo hiss!).
Here in Canada you might be lead to believe that it is the final week of summer. You might expect to hear and see many teary eyed Canadians mourning the passing of the bright seasons, and readying themselves for their annual stay in mental hospitals across the nation- preferably ones that provide electric blankets on the beds.
Well you would think wouldn't you? But no...this isn't the case. Summer is extended well into the new month, as are all the season. I don't get it, I don't understand. I don't know when summer finishes exactly and when autumn actually begins. Can someone help me out and explain this whole phenomenon - it is doing my head in!

Thanks for that Heather. My head escaped the explosion - serenity of the psyche has been restored. Ahhhh!

This is all part of the great northwest..........just when you think the summer is over....it gives you another couple weeks of sunshine........the same for winter just when you expect spring flowers........we get an unwanted blast of cold from Alaska. No set dates or cycles up here. Lauraine
