AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Hello dearest friend, I hope this finds you feeling better, such a beautiful vision would work for me...ha!

I had to go back to SSS to see if my comment to you had gone through, I suspected it hadn't and I was right, lost in cyber-space somewhere, sumthin like my 60 year old brain at times.

Been very busy making soap orders of late, not to mention the new shop that has it's grand opening Saturday...crazy days!!! But at least we can get away from all the work and drive to our fave spots, you to the beach, me to the wetlands and my wonderful Mississippi River bottoms.

As I write, waiting for my dog groomings to dry in the other room, my lil' fuzzy friend happily munches away on the crunchies on the porch. I have decided on a name for the hapless creature...the name will be mouse...in honor of my wonderful soul sister down under...I just hope Scratchy will adjust, otherwise the poor dear will always be 'the cat under the porch'...that'd be a great children's book aye!

Off to work dear one...be talkin' to ya soon!

SMOOCH!

Spaceships...the clouds do look as though they are from out of this world...they are landing in the midst of a beautiful morning!

we must be going,
clouds, so do not dawdle here
where sea and sand meet
