Is that a Coolibah tree beside the abandoned house? Every Australian knows about Coolibah trees because the bush ballad Waltzing Matilda is nigh on our unoffical national anthem but most of us live nowhere near the inland where they grow. Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong, Under the shade of a Coolibah tree, And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled, You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me. Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda, You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me, And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.
"To muse, to creep, to halt at will, to gaze ... such sweet wayfaring"
William Wordsworth
What are you doing out of bed and outside in the cold at this time in the morning? Silly question. You're blogging. Then again, is it early or does it just look that way?
ReplyDeleteJoan doesn't 'do' early, Diane!!
ReplyDeleteWell this day I did get up rather early, ir was just before sunrise so around 6:30 ish. I have to get up at 5:15am to catch the train to work so my body clock is currently switched to early wake up even though it is NOT NATURAL for me.
ReplyDeleteHave to get out early to get frost because the sun melts it away pretty fast.
So very cute! No need to tell you you'll never see one these here... :-)))
ReplyDeleteDid you realize the title of this post is "Slience"?
ReplyDeleteSounds funny.
Slience is Golden - you know every time I hear that song now it will always be slience.
We both have kangaroos today!
