What is it about a Spring Day that makes you want to just get up and go, go, go? Even if it is Autumn?
I remember years ago, my mum and I went shopping one day in April. It was the most beautiful day. The sun was shining, and the air was crisp. There was joy in our hearts as we wandered up and down the main street of the town we were in. We walked into a small shop and greeted the lady, and said,
“Isn’t it just a beautiful Spring day?!”
At the time, we both wondered why the lady looked at us so strangely, and hesitatingly agreed with us. We browsed through the shop, and then headed out into the sunshine again. A little while later, it struck me, and I turned to my mother and said,
“Mum! It’s not Spring, it’s Autumn!!!!”
We had forgotten we were in the Southern Hemisphere…. And indeed, April in Australia is Autumn. How we laughed as we remembered the lady’s strange look! She really must have thought we were slightly nuts!
I still look out at this time of the year, on a day like today, and think it is Spring. It doesn’t really matter, because I will enjoy the day regardless of what season it is. And I will chuckle as I think of that day my mother and I went shopping….
It is the perfect day to strip all the beds of their sheets and get them on the line. It was a day like today, a few months ago, that I washed all my quilts, as you can see in the above photo.

The quilts look so pretty in the sunlight!
I tell you, I get confused by the change of seasons from one hemisphere to another when I’m blog-hopping. I’ve never gone over the equator, but I bet I’d make the same mistake you did, LOL!
