Decay









I am feeling a trifle decayed right now.
Not sure why...... just a general feeling of lethargy and stagnation. 
These old disused bits of human progress spoke to me on a breath of wind and a sunbeam. 

In my present state of mind I felt drawn to their decay and inertia.
Wondering who loved and used them so long ago?
What joys or tragedies or everyday events were enacted around them? 
Eventually becoming unloved and unused..... to end up sitting in a paddock silently rusting away.
Returned to the earth from which they sprang by borers, wind and rain. 

I think waiting is taking it's toll.......

  3. Sure is, Linda! And no that gorgeous wagon is on a friends property but, oh..... I do covet it so much....!!!

    I'm not actually sure what that round thing is, Deb, but it looks great against the blue sky, doesn't it?

  4. This waiting is so very hard, imagine what it must be like for the mothers. But my daughter is oh so very calm about it all. She is due today and every time the phone rings I think it might be her.Love to you all from one who also waits. xxx
