Chilly this morning in Soul Journey

We have had such warm weather lately it seems funny to get up and put a warm dressing gown on. March has arrived and so autumn begins.

At least I got up all the gum leaves. The neighbours have the most beautiful gum tree. It is filled with birds off and on all day. Everything from small finches , King Parrots, to very noisy Cockatoos.

However I have a love/hate relationship with it. As the sun goes down it glows like a burning bush. It has gorgeous yellow flowers in its flowering season, but, its bark splits every December and fills my garden and every other morning I have to rake up its leaves. If I leave it the ground becomes covered. Especially after a wind storm and being the neat freak that I am, I do like my yard to look spick and span. Still it is good exercise but very annoying.
