Looking at our yard. Ramble just for the sake of it. 26 May 2024



I always wanted to live in a country cottage. But it's only now, in this most un-English North Queensland tropical city, that I've realised that dream. And as I look up at the verdant bush (we had enough rain in the Wet to keep it still verdant) of Castle Hill behind us, and listen to the incessant chatter of birds, tiny and not-so-tiny, a verse of a hymn from childhood has wormed its way into my ear. I'm singing it as I type.

Heaven above is softer blue,
Earth around is sweeter green,
Something lives in every hue
Christless eyes have never seen.
Birds with gladder songs o'erflow,
Flowers with deeper beauties shine,
Since I know, as now I know.
I am His, and He is mine.
