It's been a good day! In all senses of the description. It began at breakfast with a magpie singing beautifully on a branch just outside the window .... and Kaylia singing her happy song as she ate her breakfast.
After her speech therapy session, Kaylia and I headed down to Midland for a movie. (Jenny - who usually cares for k on a Tuesday - is away this week. So I'm in the "hot seat") Kaylia had selected the movie 'Elemental' and I thought that I would snooze through it ...... but it was a surprisingly good film with a good soundtrack. I'll try to download it.
We had lunch and then went 'round the block' for a drive along a road about 20mins drive north of Darlington.
The yellow line is the road from Midland to Gidgegannup and the blue loop (going north and round back to the yellow line) is the way we wandered.It went past a grove ... about 50 acres ... of very straight trees .... the wind was rushing through the timber ... almost sounding like a stream of water.
.... and then at several places .....
(I've marked it on the map as "view" and the direction ....
there was a beautiful vista stretching into the distance.
There are many houses on this route and I'm envious of their location. The elevation is very high (for WA that is) and it's very peaceful.
Much of this drive was through country that was burnt in the huge fires a couple of years ago .... and it's good to see how much of the bush has regenerated. Australia is a land of the cycle of death and regeneration....
