After weeks of mild, forgiving autumn days, winter arrived this morning without ceremony — a cool breath through the trees, a dimming of the sun, and the first hint of rain settling over the café windows.
So there we were, winter at our shoulders and coffee in hand, watching the day change
And for Sadje’s,
What do you see # 343- June 1, 2026

Monday, June 1st 2026
It’s the first day of winter.
Our weather-weary sun
is diminishing and hiding
behind our shady evergreen trees
and the dark, rainy clouds.
We’re cold, but safely sheltering
at the cosy Box Office Cafe
and enjoying our coffee and treats.
Frankie is snuggling up beside me,
and despite the damp atmosphere,
my trusty old pencil still works,
no matter what the prevailing conditions.
A low ember of winter, still burning somewhere inside.

After lots of rain summer has finally arrived with temperatures forecasted to soar into the 80’s Fahrenheit – 26 Celsius. How bout I trade you some of my hot air for some of your cold air. 🙂
