i don't know what to say, but i want to leave you some flowers.

Thank you for the flowers. They are beautiful. There's lots of flowers here right now. Spring isn't adhering strictly to the calendar. Whilst accompanying Miss G and 60-plus other 8- and 9-year olds on a bushwalking excursion on Friday, I found out that the floral emblem for the Central Coast (the egocentric name given to the area in which I live) is the native fuschia or correa - here's some for you here:

- and I saw plenty among the ferns and below the wattles at Girrakool.

how pretty! (btw, my friend ken from blacktown once sent me a funny poem about the wattle. i had never heard of it as a plant, knew it only as the hangy-down skin under a turkey's neck -- and mine! -- and wrote back expressing amazement. he likes to laugh at me when i'm ignorant. *g*)

I like the idea that in every ending is a new beginning.

From every hearth, a phoenix?

You're not alone there.

The interesting part is seeing what begins, and what ends...
