Welcome SPRING

At last! It's here!

The flowering almond buds are bursting! The vinca is starting to bloom! The daffodils and tulips and grape hyacinth will follow in rapid succession!

Spring is truly here!

In Australia, Harmony Day is being celebrated, affirming the idea that EVERYONE BELONGS - We are all members of the Family of Man, whatever our race, creed or culture, and every one of us should treat every other with respect. It's the Golden Rule. It's the Human Rights Campaign. It's what each of us knows deep in the heart and should be practicing every day.

Shadow Shot Sunday #44

It's Sunday in Australia, and time for Shadow Shots, hosted by Tracey, at Hey Harriet.

Today I have pictures of a very old chair that was my mother's It was made by hand by an unknown ancestor of mine. Sorry that it is sitting on a terrible old carpet. Not the prettiest setting.





................................................

Let's all of us, wherever we are in this world, take a note from Australia and celebrate HARMONY DAY. All we have to do is remember that all of us on this planet should be treated with respect and kindness. We are all members of the only race - The Human Race. As Australia's motto for the day tells us - EVERYONE BELONGS.



Everyone truly does belong in the Family of Man.

My photos today came from my daughter, Kathryn. She saw this rainbow from her front door, and then the other end from her window.

Saturday, March 21, the first day of spring, is observed in Australia as Harmony Day. It is a day to celebrate harmony among people of all cultures, races, religions. Isn't that a wonderful idea! How about promoting this all over the world, in our blogs and in our lives? Their slogan is "Everyone Belongs"
