At last, today, work on my daughter's home in the Riverina has started...

Just...
Turning the first sods...a mere year after the initial planned beginning...
Thank you Mr/Ms Covid-19... pic.twitter.com/nNZ1pNP3Q5
The deed is done...symbol of the next stage in my journey...Sadly, another risky rental, but from sea to country town...a new breath of fresh air I hope... pic.twitter.com/pCWjmKjX2K

PASSING THOUGHT: Still in the land of removal boxes + butchers' paper (both ordered+on the way)...Trying to work out how to nail this humungous task by doing a little at a time...Still haven't quite figured out where to start+how/where to pile boxes so I don't feel 'snowed in'...

PASSING THOUGHT: I'm in shock. My creative mind has drawn a blank. My home (a rental) is up for sale. So I really do have to 'walk the talk' to retirement + move to a country town near my daughter. Now all I'm talking about is packing boxes, butcher paper+tape dispensers. O help.

And, in front of the 'home' message door, (featured in the last post) is a mini garden of fanciful 'trinkets'... pic.twitter.com/XA8HPHZtev

The little family living the dream of a country mansion... https://t.co/eBsSHMNlKX
PASSING THOUGHT: Don't dwell on the past - owning a Sydney home + venturing to a large property in Tasmania. All gone. Here and now, on the verge of retirement, daring to dream again. Possible to have my own home again? Just a small one? No one to take it from me? Keep walking...

NOTE: This is not the 1st time I have shared a dream or sought assistance from the universe...But only when I feel I simply cannot find my own way clearly...
I believe in the power of the universal spirit...I am open to answers...
A confronting, heart-breaking image. For those who need hard-core evidence of how humans impact wildlife, this MUST be it. I can never forget 100's of cockatoos bombarding construction vehicles when land was cleared at Cranbourne. Pine trees were cut down. Hitchcock movie style.

The road toward home curves and swerves like black ribbon.

I like the moment when the town appears from the green fields.
Today, as I reached the edge of town, the creek, the horses and
the paddocks were ready for me.

And before my eyes, my mother's grave, up on yonder hill,

warm and sweet in the cold August rain...

Love the gentle eddy of thoughts and feelings... melting together...
keeping pace, savouring the dimensions of these small and grand moments...
From yesterday's wander, who would believe that this is a Dromana home? But then again, Dromana seems to draw together many homestyles- old+new, national+international as well as the custom variety...Still, there are not many homes with palms+old Dromana Memorial Hall has one... pic.twitter.com/vTUvEPFQvu— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) August 1, 2020
