Stillness in the air
Not too warm and not too cold
Autumn morning smiles

I’m reblogging this post to celebrate ANZAC DAY 2016 ~ LEST WE FORGET
April 25, 2015
On 25th April, the day of the landings at Gallipoli, I want to remember the young volunteers from Australia and New Zealand who put their lives on the line to fight the brave fight a hundred years ago. My father, Bogdan Stojić, was a volunteer, too. He served as a medical orderly in the Serbian Army at the time.
The poem in this post is dedicated to the heroes of both World Wars as well as those in present wars, as, unfortunately, humans have not yet found a way to resolve conflicts without the use of arms. The poem was written for Susan Budig’s Mindful Poetry Contest 2012. It was first published by narratorAUSTRALIA (now narratorINTERNATIONAL) online and in print in narratorAUSTRALIA, Volume Two. It also appears in my book Dreams On My Pillow.

Cornflower in my Garden
Deaer Fellow Bloggers! I’m writing on my smartphone. My laptop is overheating so I’ll be away for a while. I might need to get a new computer. Also, one of my rooms has been in utter chaos for two years now, so I intend to use this “down time” to make it livable again. I’d like to post a photo, I’ve done it before once, but I’m not sure I’ll be able to do it this time. Anyway, happy blogging to you all! Cheers 🙂 Irina
Summer Heat in Sydney, Down Under
Today, luckily, there’s a profusion of clouds and a bit of breeze into the bargain.

I hope Red Roses will forgive me for choosing Red Hibiscus as a symbol of Love.

Wishing my Australian friends a wonderful Australia Day!
I’m sharing again the same poem I shared last year for Australia Day.
This poem was written in 2013, first published by Narrator Australia and now appears in my book “Dreams On My Pillow”, and this design was created by my Facebook friend Ag Nes.

“Bathed in warm sunshine, may she prosper fair and black or any other pretty colour”
Bearing this line in mind, I am delighted to present to you a remarkable young man from Sudan who now calls Australia home and who says he coud never have dreamed of getting university education in Sudan because of the colour of his skin.
Deng Thiak was taken from his family at the age of six to be a soldier. Now he’s an accomplished defence lawyer and community leader in Sydney’s west.
May he and his work helping migrants prosper too.
May he be blessed along with others who come to this beautiful land to live honourably, to cherish the opportunities, the riches and freedoms Australia offers.

Sasha and I are also getting into a proper patriotic mood.

I may opt for this headgear, though.

Today I gave My Holden Barina, a true blue Aussie car, a thorough wash. It is now ready to fly the Australian flag.
❤ Happy Australia Day 26 January 2016! ❤

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2015 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
A New York City subway train holds 1,200 people. This blog was viewed about 4,700 times in 2015. If it were a NYC subway train, it would take about 4 trips to carry that many people.
Magpie mums and dads are busy birds at Christmas time. They are omnivorous birds, so we give them minced meat and sunflower seeds when they visit. And they visit every day, as you might have guessed. Even on rainy days. They just love our hospitality. This pair have been regular visitors for the last three years and every year they bring along their babies. Young magpies are able to forage on their own three weeks after leaving the nest, and by six months old can feed themselves, but some birds continue begging for food until eight or nine months of age, according to Google. The fledglings in my videos are about two months old and one of them seems to be famished.
Mother Magpie is a busy mum, while Father Magpie just looks on, not a hands-on dad, just a sort of old-fashioned male chauvinist … ! But do not jump to hasty conclusions! You might also say he’s a true gentleman letting his wife enjoy her meal in peace. As a matter of fact, both parents feed their babies, but always feed themselves first, as I’ve observed. Fair enough, I’d say. Rearing a young family is a demanding job.
A bit of drama… just some sibling rivalry as in any family!
Yummy, yummy, yummy! Thank, you Mummy!
Let us be as happy as the Magpie Family! 🙂
Peace and joy to you at this blessed Christmas season and have a wonderful New Year!
