4 SEASONS IN A DAY.....
Frustration while we wait the seasonal change
From winter bleak to a spring sunnier range
Maybe we're fed up, of dressing for the rain
Or wind and chill, and hair we need to tame
At least in northern New Zealand, never snow
Though feeling cold, with cheeks more a glow
Not from humidity and sunshine, buffered wind
Blue not rosy, body and bones feel tinged
Four seasons, can be mixed into one day
Take off and add layers, keep colds at bay
Dreaming of the sunshine, know it's real
When happily extra clothes, you can peel
The grass is always greener, we know its true
Wanting what we can't have, does see us through
Till the season we love, shakes our senses alive
Dare we moan about it later, humidity over rides
Impatience, I admit I want the season to rush
Spring seems so slow, and still rain will gush
But days get longer, and earth starts to wake
Grateful for every sunny day, as summer breaks.....

I love the winters here in Nu's country but I miss our Summer in NZ. It has been too hot over here lately and I suffer from the heat a lot! Reading between the lines...I see the water, I see the range...those chilly crisp mornings or the grey wet days of winter flipside with walks on beautiful beaches and the bush not far beyond; cafes galore out in the city and oh those yummy fish and chips .....now my heart longs to be there!
Always

Thank you again......Kathy NZ
The weather here has been crazy all winter like yesterday we had a high of 15 and 4 degrees overnight and today it was around 30 degrees. It has been up one day and down another day. We had the warmest January on record. December was snowless and warmer as well. Crazy weather since November. Wondering what Spring and Summer will bring. Thanks for sharing Kathy!
