The Perelli's took this photo of us over the Christmas holidays about a month ago. It feels like it was just a week ago or so, but of course, it isn't. It is already mid-February and will soon be March. On the plus side, the days are starting to stay light much longer, and despite the snow on the ground, you can almost sense Spring coming. The sun's rays are starting to contain warmth and soon we'll be looking for the first early flowers to poke their heads out of the hibernating ground.
It is strange and sad to think that on the other side of the planet my home country is scorched, dessicated and burning. Some nearly 200 people have died in horrible bush fires in Victoria, just south of where my parents live, and just north of my brother in Melbourne. Sometimes being an atheist is not that great: it would be comforting to able to appeal to a higher power.
