Neighbourhood pics again

Last Monday on the way from Figtree and The Hellenic Club back to West Wollongong I noticed these ribbons in the bush. Not sure why they are there. Part of a game?

Selected Poems

Clover Hill Diaries - Join Me and Be the Change

#Strongwomen. "I write about the power of trying, because I want to be okay with failing. I write about generosity because I battle selfishness. I write about joy because I know sorrow. I write about faith because I almost lost mine, and I know what it is to be broken and in need of redemption. I write about gratitude because I am thankful - for all of it." Kristin Armstrong

J T Weaver
