Weathersfield Weekly Blog Feb 22
Weathersfield, Vermont
Good Day Mate! We're just back from two weeks in Australia. Why Australia you ask, well, we went to see Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. We saw four shows, two in Sydney and two in Brisbane. In between the shows we explored the area around both cities. I'll be posting about our adventures on my blog. It was really fun. The weather was great. Temperatures were in the 80s and 90s every day (it's their summer Down Under). We monitored all the storms that were happening back home and were somewhat prepared for the snow amounts but when we finally got home after 30 hours of travel on Friday night our jaws dropped when we saw all the snow on our deck. Then the temperatures began to rise and it was mud season and the sap was running. This is crazy weather people. Am I asking too much to have winter be winter at least for a little bit, then turn Spring? This back and forth stuff is driving me crazy. Your thoughts?
