Rain, rain, and more rain

I thought Brisbane in spring would be sunny, warm, and overall just lovely. But, this past week has been nothing but rain and clouds. Though, I guess when you are inside all day at work, it's not too bad. But still, where's the sun? Maybe we jinxed it by buying fans this past weekend...

Apparently it's supposed to be sunny and warm at this time of year, but for some reason, this spring has been wetter and a bit cooler than usual. It's not that big of a deal since we know the heat and sun are coming soon, and really, it's still quite warm out. But the fair dinkum Aussies just can't handle this 'horrid' weather. It's been cloudy for a week and they're complaining about the lack of sun and how miserable it is outside. Someone asked Chris the other day how we can stand it during winter in Canada. Haha..that's why we came here!

Either way, the forecast for this weekend is for clear skies and sunshine. Which will be lovely because the Jacarnada trees are starting to bloom and I'd love to spend part of the weekend walking around and taking pictures of these beautiful, huge trees that produce these stunning purple flowers in the spring. Apparently when the petals fall, it looks like a blanket of purple on the ground! I'll definitely be taking some pictures in the next few weeks of these trees in bloom. For now, you'll just have to make do with a pic I found on the internet.

Happy weekend to everyone!
