Early May


The Celtic festival of Beltane which is also celebrated as May Day, fell on the weekend. Half way between the spring equinox and summer solstice, it marks the first day of summer. Here in the Southern Hemisphere, as it falls half way between the autumn equinox and winter solstice, I guess May 1st  (or there abouts as the exact astronomical date is a day or two later), is the first day of winter. 

  

     

Three degrees Monday night, our first fire of the season and a request for flannelette sheets on the bed.  Yeah, I think winter is here.
