Its time To Return

Hello to all my blogging friends,
To say things have been hectic in the last month would be an understatement. Nicole (Little Miss Arty)has kept you all up to date with the comings and goings of our family.
I have some breathing space,my uncle has returned to his home safely, he will be seeing his on doctor Monday and they will organise the next step in his treatment.Hopefully there is not any nasties to be found on his parathyroid gland.
My dad is progressing well, the area he had radium treatment to has completly healed, he still has a little fluid retention under his chin,but this too will dissipate in time. He has been back out in the barn, putting up a hand rail on the stairs,like any old tradesman he started with nothing and ended up with a good solid finish,now we have something to grab onto as we climb the stairs.
I have not had time to spend out in the barn,but am looking forward to getting amongst it again soon.
Well, I know it isnt the beginning of September yet, but spring is here, the trees are budding and the wattles are blooming and the cherry blossoms are out.The birds are building their nests, the animals are having babies and the day temperature is warm.
Its time to get the garden out of hibernation and into the growing season, I have to feed, weed and water.
Thankyou to all of you who kept in touch via my e-mail and a special thankyou to Peggy for my lovely gift,some things to treasure.
Oh, I bought myself a camera, nothing flash,its a sony and when I read up on it, watch out you will be inundated with pics.
I found this verse and would like to share it with you.

THE PRINCIPLE OF GIVING AND RECEIVING
MAY BE A BASIC LAW OF CREATION, BUT WE'RE
NOT BORN KNOWING IT! AS A MATTER OF FACT
WE COME INTO THIS WORLD TAKING,GRASPING,
CLINGING TIGHT. WE HAVE TO LEARN TO GIVE,
LEARN TO SHARE, LEARN TO THINK OF OTHERS.

Forgetting oneself is not a refinemnt of love.
It is a first condition of love.
