My country childhood cont.
The country show that we always participated in was held in September. Spring time, when the country side was at its best. The crops were planted early Autumn (fall) and if the rains had been good by September the wheat and barley and the alfalfa was nearly as high as that Elephant's eye in the old...

The country show circa 1954 Australia
All the more important country towns held an agricultural show. Mothers submitted cooking, cut flowers, fruit fresh and preserves, arranged flowers and needlework. Men submitted their best live stock, sheep, cattle, and horses and a bale of fine merino wool. Pity the family that went home without...

Lighten up Kabu.
The days are short, night drops early this time of the year. Not enough sunshine can drive a person troppo I believe. Just like too much rain in the tropics can. And then there is Christmas and New Year. Families are scattered and full of misunderstandings, thoughtlessness, pain, and bitter...

The Price of Freedom...rewritten because I lost it yesterday.
The Price of Freedom Heirdo crept outside of his den. The blizzard had passed and hunger drove him into the white wilderness. Food would be difficult to find but if he was to survive he must make a kill; it was already three days since he had eaten. He sniffed at the wind and moved off down the...

I lost the plot!
I lost the plot... Which is a saying that can be applied to me most every day. I start to do something, get myself side tracked by something else, like what Wley is doing and completely forget to finish off what I had started. Today though was somewhat more annoying.I wrote a little story here,...

Such a busy day
Quite worn out so I am. Quite done in. New years day and very cold outside. I woke up at some time after eleven and closer to noon today to find the temperature had plummeted to - forever. The squirrel and the birds swore at me so while the coffee brewed I stood at the back door and threw peanuts...

So much concern thank you
How wonderful this place is. Yes Wiley was able to post again once he deleted some tunes that he had down loaded from somewhere so the level of stress has receded. Well in that area anyway. There are a couple of other things to worry a person. For me it's a Print master double cd that Santa Wiley...

Something weird is happening to Wiley's blog
Wiley has been posting at his blog while I have been working on other projects but a gremlin or something has got into his blog. His latest posts are there from yesterday and today, the latest ones that you can't find; but way down the page. He's let blogit know that there is a problem and he's...

The cat that Peed!
Sounds like Dr. Seusse or something but it's amazing when Wiley and I start talking just what anecdotes one suddenly remembers, and why I always remember this one I don't know, but it's a good holiday time one. Way back when I was in my late teens, I can remember standing patiently for my turn to be...
