the first night & day

our first night in our new home... Katoomba greeted us well, with the un-expected weather.. cold, rain and windy... Mother Mary was placed at our door, candles lit & we tucked ourselves up into bed and promptly fell asleep to a gale blowing outside. weather warnings had been issued for gale force winds... but I slept. and as i did, I could feel Avalon, wrap her arms around me.. rocking me to sleep. I had come home.

morning dawned... rain and sunshine - wind and hail... my computer is on an old 1930's woodend table..sitting looking out my window I feel like a writer. the mist rolled in over the apple tree blossom. what more could i want.

I do not know how many times I am going to say that I have come home

the lilac is blooming - an exquisite perfume. the iris are in bud, a tree of unknown name, is budding.. cannot wait to find out what it is. i found out that one of my apple trees is actually a plum....
the beginnings of my life at Avalon
