some photos from around church yesterday for some strange reason my computer laptop has decided to take life in the slow lane...and it has been a little difficult to access certain pages on the internet, including my blogs. and so despite my off loading many of my photos onto my external hard drive, there are still technical difficulties. So when it is possible, I will resume posting some more photos...the last from New York, since I am now arrived home again! will see if these few photos will load before I try the last of NYC.

and more rain predicted...it just keeps on falling. The Mary River catchment to the north of us here had 300mm (that's 12 inches of rain) yesterday. Making communities there at risk of flooding. some visitors from the country came yesterday...for Brisbane it was a day without rain..wow. dress ups is always a popular game here... always good fun a magnificent sunset also...amazing.. off to church this morning early. the sermon on "water" based on the lectionary reading of the baptism of Jesus by John in the river Jordan, was very appropriate, considering the circumstances we find ourselves here in Queensland. some of the finished rugs were gathered in. and someone (me) took a terrible photo of them in a hurry before they got taken away. And then it poured with rain on the way home! May God go with you this week.

A play in the park... off to school and the weekly highlight for the littlies...childcare for the day. World Cup soccer is on don't forget... fun to "camp out" ...when it is raining rabbit looks kinda cozy there.... flowers for Mummy good to have you home from hospital Mummy... off to church again... an amazing place.... and some precious gum leaves and blossoms for my blog as we walk back to the car.... typical Melbourne winter weather....giving thanks for the rain.... King Parrots feeding in the backyard....how to photograph them before they fly away! fun with blocks to end the day....

BE STILL MY SOUL. I went to church this morning. Surprised? No? Well, I am , since I was awake from 4am to almost 7am, chatting on the computer to Jo, Andrew, Ian and Little Robert. I had startled awake at 4am, and decided to "check on Jo" on the 'puter...and found Ian was awake with Robert. "Robbie..sit..Daddy...puter"..wow..sentences now, Robert. Well done! Good to have a family chat...all very surreal..Melbourne , New York, and here! At 4am!! I had some more sleep, and was luckily woken by a bark from Abbey and a phone call. So I wasn't late for late church after all. There was water in the creek as I walked up to church. And the colorful playground was asking to be photographed too. It did indeed get photographed, and even put in here...so where is it now...that is what I want to know...where do they go...does Blogger pinch the good ones for itself??? Heather had decorated the church..again..this time..with a "tree". . He is the Vine ....and we...
