Spring has sprung in Western Australia (shh..keep the rain away) and I know this because:

1-The White Herons are back
2-The pea gravel is no longer mushy
3-It's light or getting light at 5:30am
4-It's hot-ish at 9am
5-Our clothing dries very quickly on our washing line
6-Our hot water is hot right away as is the cold water
7-The little lizards are often seen sunning themselves on the track or the bike paths

Ahhh..finally..spring..
