a carpet of stars....revisited

The leaves are carpeting the steps to my house.

but unlike last year, they are more golden, all the sublime shades of yellow.....

from the cool 'limeiness' of cad. lemon, the softness of naples yellow,

 to the warmth of cadmium yellow-deep,

aureoline and into the vermilions.

and more....so many,many  more.

have you been wondering where I've been?

you'll need an hour, and a cup of coffee.

this little post was lurking in my draft folder....

ready to post...BUT....it didn't happen.....

come back  tomorrow to find out why,

hopefully  I'll be here....fingers crossed!

all of the above was written on 5 April
but posted on the 23 June and backdated...I know ....that's cheating :)

mate: slang for 'friend' used in New Zealand, Britain, Australia and Tasmania

mate: something Kiwis say when they want to be Australians

mate: though its origins are widely disputed, it is a British word ,
brought over to Australia by the convicts ( from "me ol' shipmate")
then some kiwi tourist stole it

all of the above 'pearls' are from the Urban Dictionary...as submitted by your fellow 'mates' in the general public....some being somewhat 'geographically challenged'!

Everyone needs a 'support team'.....a wingman, an ally.

often they are not who you expect, and the people who step up

to be your 'support team' may surprize you.
