     ​       It looks great out, as there is a clear, blue sky.  Temperature at 8:45 AM is 32 degrees.  High today is to be 50 degrees.  Average temperature is 39.  So enjoy because we will not have many more days like this.  Tonight, low of 26.  Tomorrow a cold front coming thru so it will be cold and windy.  All next week we will have the average temperatures to start out Dec.
In the Northern Hemisphere, we are going into winter.   Our family is Australia in the southern Hemisphere is going into summer.  Larry’s sister Evelyn’s garden is blooming like crazy as it is their spring.  Here is one of her plants.  I don’t think we have anything like that here.  What do you think? 
My heath leafed Banksia is loving this warm weather, a common native bush/tree. The birds and insects love them. I don't know if you are familiar with the stories of Snugglepot and Cuddlepie, written by May Gibbs. In it are the banksia men. They are the seed cones left once the flowers are spent. They are very hard, lots of artists make things like coasters and essential oil diffusers out of them.
Evelyn McAdam said also  It is tough, likes it dry and hotl perfect for our summer.
