The canopy
Of a palm tree, I see,
Looking up, a host of angels

Today 1st March is the first day of Autumn in Australia.
Murraya or Orange Blossom is now in bloom in my garden.
This evergreen shrub from south-east Asia grows to around 3m (10′) tall. Its genus name commemorates Dr. Johann Murray, an eighteenth-century Swedish botanist. Murrayas, along with such plants as choisya and citrus, belong to the Rutaceae family, which explains why their creamy white flowers smell just like orange blossom. The flowers are produced in abundance in spring then again in late summer or early autumn, but they also tend to appear after heavy rain. The plant has a dense, twiggy habit and glossy, dark green foliage, and makes an excellent privacy screen or hedge. Murrayas grow best in warm climates from Sydney to Perth and areas north.

I’m sharing this inspirational post by Cheryl as I need to work on some aspects of my life. “Start your day with love (not technology)” is one of the headings.

I wrote this poem in 2013, I think, and my Facebook friend Ag Nes created this digital photo.

Citizenship ceremonies will be held all over Australia today. People will celebrate in green parks and on sandy beaches, in pubs and clubs and at home. They’ll put lamb chops, sausages and shrimps on the barbie, delicious Aussie tucker, and keep cool and merry sipping cold Aussie beer or any other Aussie beverage.
My hubby Sasha and I will be celebrating with our feathered friends.
With colourful Rainbow Lorikeets

With Magpies singing praises of this special day.

These two rascals won’t be welcome. The Sulphur-crested Cockatoos were good fun until they decided to help themselves, in our absence, to our outdoor timber furniture.

I’ll let you join the party, Mr Currawong, if you pop in at your hairdresser’s first.
*
The Laughing Kookaburra is always welcome.

Happy Australia Day to my fellow Australians!

Inspirational post! Thank you, Cheryl. ❤
Please support Anita Stewart, a very fine poet.
Hello all, readers, minions, assorted others.
Today I come to you on bended knee asking for your support. I have two requests, one for votes and one for social media support of a Thunderclap. Plus, I have a short announcement, so read on to the end.
First, I have good news. My book, Horror Haiku and Other Poems, was nominated in the Preditors & Editors Readers’ Poll in the Poem category. So yay!
This brings me to my first request. I need votes! So I ask you to find a spark of kindness and go check out the poll, and perhaps grant my poor book a vote.
Here’s the page: http://critters.org/predpoll/poem.shtml
One to the next request. My thunderclap.
I’ve mentioned this event before on the site, but the campaign has only 9 days to go, and has stalled. It still has nearly 30 supporters to go to reach its goal…

I’m still in Christmas mood, so I’m reblogging this beautiful post by Millie Thom. ❤
I’d intended to include this section in my post about the history of Christmas carols yesterday, but decided against it when I realised I had more to write about than was wise for a single post. In addition, the focus on this carol is very appropriate for today, considering what day it is! Of course, carols like Silent Night and Hark the Herald Angels Sing, While Shepherd’s Watch and several others would also fit the bill, but O Holy Night was on my mind.
So here we are again, enjoying another Christmas Eve. Children everywhere will be getting very excited. What the heck …. I’m excited, and I want to wish everyone in Blogland a really wonderful Christmas.
Now for the serious stuff . . .
I was reading one of Natalie Scarberry’s posts a few days ago on her blog Sacred Touches and on it she’d put a…
