Birdbath

I have always wanted a birdbath in my yard.  Who would have thought I would have to move to Roma, Queensland, Australia to have that want become a reality.  We are settling into the "Uniting Church Manse" (that is what the sign next to the door says) and are very happy to be here.  We have met some of our neighbours, a few of the local clergy and a few folk from two of the congregations and we have a birdbath in the back yard.  It required a bit of maintenance which Mal quickly took to (just for me - I am not sure he considered it a priority) but I relax at the sink while I wash dishes and watch the birds come to drink and play.  The birdbath probably represents a whole bunch of affirmations that we are just where God wants us to be. Praise be to God.
