Tossing Pebbles in the Stream

This blog is my place to sit and toss pebbles into the stream. The stream of Life relentlessly passing before us. We can affect it little. For the most part I just watch it passing and follow the flow. Occasionally, I need to comment on its passing, tossing a pebble at it to enjoy the ripple affect upon Life's surface.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

We had more snow fall last night. it keeps coming.

A Currier and Ives winter scene? I think so.

The plow came by overnight to clear the road and leave me a chore of digging out. I am still flying the Labradorian Flag. We certainly are getting snow worthy of that wonderful wild part of Canada.

In honour of my niece, Laura, now living in Australian, I thought I would include some Austalian Christmas songs. Below is a version of "I'm Dreaming of an Aussie Christy" by Addison a delightful Aussie child. (You may need an Australian slang dictionary for some words. A "snag" is a sausage cooked in the barbecue, the barbie) Enjoy.

And the well known Aussie song, "Six White Boomers"

Right now I could enjoy an Aussie Christmas away from all this snow.

We set a place for you - but I guess the snow kept you home!!! At least you had a good excuse!
It is 55 here, down from 60 at noon, flowers are blooming on the camellias. Punkin is scrubbing turkey juice off his whiskers laying on his back in the sun.
Thanks for sharing your snow! Not sure about the Aussie Chrissie! LOL!

Happy Holidays,
