Start of winter ?

A tiny skiff of snow this morning ,could this be the start of winter ? there is still a hint of autumn in the trees particularly the larches and the sycamores ,but the ground is a veritable carpet of leaves .Not much sun this week ,but good days for burning the summer debris .Lots of good WWOOFers over the last few weeks and lots of progress for the forest ,not to mention the good food and drinks !!!
             Am VERY worried where this pathetic government is leading us , times are tight all around the world ,mainly because of our rampant spending ,but this govts, answer seems to be hand the power over to the bankers and the corporations ,away from the public service ,and they will make sure that the wealthy are protected and the weak are exploited  eg ,tax cuts for the rich and GST rise for the poor .....come on people time to wake up before Key and his Grosser sell us off to the States and China ,and be assured that they will !!




             However I still saw a bittern yesterday  and a couple of welcome swallows today ,and Yuko painted a new sign for my gate ,so life is not all grim ,but you still have to watch those devils .
