Wait?!!! Holidays??! I only know this NOW? Here I'm "vacationing" all over the place because most people think that a holiday only happens for a country's remember-something-day. YAY for Aussies who actually speak English. Of course the fact that we haven't had a holiday (OR vacation) for years is beside the point....now onto my photo comment. Hopefully you can have a holiday over it 😎

The chilly Spring mist lifts as the radiant suns beams into the waking world. Gone are the winter blues. Gone is the black frost that wrecks havoc in the garden and among lambing mothers. Gone are frosty mornings fumbling around in the dark for warm slippers and coffee mugs; long before the sun begins to stir. Like a heavenly conductor the first kiss of sunlight causes a ripple across the countryside. A twitter here. A bleat there. A branch creaks. And then the orchestra swells. Birdsong greets the waking dawn. Frolicking lambs fill the horizon. The sweet fragrance of opening blossoms permeates the air. It is a wonderful way to wake up. Only a slight chill. Not the frost of winter. Not the merciless heat of winter. Ah. Spring. New life. Hope. Joy. A spring in the step as you more eagerly anticipate the day's summer preparations. And nestled in the flowering fruit trees birds that are busy with their own preening and preparing to raise this season's young. First fruits. The promise of new life and overcoming. What joy and hope greets the dawn!
