Last days of summer

Today was surprisingly sunny, after a few days of rain, although it was blowing fit to bust. And we discovered an unexpected characteristic of our little garden: it is very sheltered. After church, we barbecued some boerewors and sosaties, courtesy of the local South Africa shop (actually a biltong factory that has diversified over the years).

You see us here, sitting at our new outdoor table, totally sheltered, while the upper branches of the trees around the outside of our property showed how hard the wind was still blowing. Of course, the days are already getting shorter and the evenings are cooler, so we know that autumn is not far off, but the summer is not completely over.
