Privileged to live in Australia
Retired
Grandparents
With time to spare
Or so we thought
We wouldn’t have it any other way
Wonderfully blessed
Making memories
AUSTRALIA DAY AT HOME
Jan 26 2015
A hard day here
Sitting on the back verandah on this Australia Day
Australia a land of contrasts indeed…
Deep fried in the intense heat yesterday
Grey, cool and overcast today
Wishing it was a trifle warmer with the sun showing its face
( we are never ever satisfied are we! )
Egg and bacon breakfast cooked by husband dear
Minding two grandies in their parents home
Children happy and content
Grandparents enjoying the luxury of a Verandah
Savouring the view over green lawn to surrounding bush
The old lush mulberry tree
Listening to the birds and their different melodies trying to out sing each other
Hearing the old hens give their distinct call
You know this is a home to a busy family
Basketball on the lawn
Tractor truck on the verandah
Bags of potting mix next to plants waiting to be potted
Long strips of curled up bark from the gum tree lying on the veranda from a made up and now discarded game of hop scotch (grandma did not want to be the first to draw with chalk on newly re painted decking)
Little boy calling out, grandma, I’m hungry
Joys of being a grandparent in this little corner of Australia
Our laid back Australia Day
