Silently, one by one, in the infinite meadows of heaven,
Blossomed the lovely stars, the forget-me-nots of the
angels.
- Henry Wadsworth
Longfellow, Evangeline: A Tale of Acadie
I love the view of the Milky Way from here in Australia. I don't know what it is like in other parts of the world but if you can get away from the city lights it is spectacular.
Much of my reading time over the last decade and a half has
been spent reading aloud to my children. Those children's bedtime rituals of
supper, bath, stories, and sleep have been a staple of my life and some of the
best, most special times I can remember.
- Louise Brown
This quote from Louise Brown is very true. Since having children I have really enjoyed the bedtime ritual of reading a story. They have now gotten too old for me to read to them but this is still one of my favourite times of the day. I also love my bed in the winter time, with its woollen underlay, flannelette sheets and feather doona. When I get my Nice People, Nice Things quilt done I am really looking forward to spending my first night with it on my bed.
Talk again soon
