  1. And it is a truly lovely reminder that spring is around the corner. Not just round the corner, but coming. Thanks for sharing.

  2. Well you're lucky it lasted 10 years. Wattles have a short life cycle. Silly thing, doesn't it know it's frosty outside! Gawd I wish Spring was just around the corner, it's freezing in the Hills

  3. Worth waiting for I think Kylie.
    Ruby Grace taught me this song when I was young.

    The bush was grey a week today
    Olive green and brown and grey
    But now the spring has come this
    way
    With blossoms for the wattle
    It seems to be a fairy tree,
    It dances to a melody
    And sings a little song to me
    The graceful swaying wattle

    From The school Magazine 1929

    There are two following verses.

    Words Veronica Mason
    Music J.S. Middenway

    Just a week or so bees from our colony were just about "lifting" the Coota wattle from behind the garage. What an intoxicating auditory message for future rbbing days!
