Bushfires, New Years, smoke hazards, Record HOT days,cooling down, tennis and cricket..
Warming up, cooling down.. It's summer! Finding new flowers blooming eating yummy tropical mangoes and yummy stone fruit starting a new healthy diet Fun with kids and family Unpacking boxes Enjoying 30 degrees Celsius after 42 degrees Celsius! Enjoying an overhead fan instead of an air-conditioner! Enjoying less smoke haze than last night after the record breaking heatwave blew away in a gusty south easterly change! Summer days and nights of watching cricket, and tennis swimming to cool off and exercise Enjoying a new church new people... Forgive generously Love extravagantly Live Abundantly. (words taken from the end of the Anglican church service).

JOURNEYING
Journeys.. I went on one to a celebration today. By train. Through the city transit center. and past some quaint houses in an older part of town this one had an unusual weather vane atop the garage roof! these funny chimneys I really like, they pop up everywhere on the older buildings The shade of a lovely old poinsiana tree in the front yard of this house. some of these old houses have very cute fronts a lovely frangipani an agapanthus flowers in front of a front gate and some very pretty roses... Our sermon today was about Journeys. Fitting to ponder our own journeys , spiritual or however we like to think of them, at this time of the year. Tying in with the story I mentioned yesterday, (Luke 2:41-52) of Jesus staying behind to listen to the teachers in the temple: Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers. And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and men. ...
that time of year
Time of year for the agapanthus to bloom, lovely to have some blooming at last in my front yard again.
An Australian Thanksgiving
Many thanks for the wonderful provision of fresh fruit around us for dancing ladies and agapanthus flowering a rainy misty morning...looking out over Mt Cootha from my morning walk cheerful bougainvillea and poinciana blooms for highways and freeways and byways for the rain, even though it was very heavy in patches, and not very heavy in other places Greetings and a Happy Thanksgiving to you from Sippy Downs, Australia.
