Christmas card for all at the WBF

[rbgarr]

Jamie may be sending out snail mail and poetry but I'm too lazy for that.

Best to everyone this holiday season, this Christmas and for the future.

Here's a little Christmas song for you all:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0EJbr0rFV4&feature=related

Out in the harbor
The ships come in, it's Christmastime
The kids all holler carols 'cross the water
Stars that shine

All that I want, all that I want

Above the rooftops
The full moon dips its golden spoon
I wait on clip-clops, deer might fly
Why not? I met you

All that I want, all that I want

And when the night is falling
Down the sky at midnight
Another year is stalling
Far away a good bye, good night

All that I want., all that I want, all that I want

So small a turning
The world grows older every day
An ache, a yearning
Soften when I hear you say

All that I want, all that I want

And when the cold wind's blowing
Snow drifts through the pine trees
In houses lights are glowing
Likewise in your eyes that find me here

With all that I want.

Out in the harbor
The ships come in, it's Christmastime
It's Christmastime
It's Christmastime.

Well it's a bit early Steven but Compliments of the season to you and yours and all on the forum and at WB.
No snow for us I think. Sun, sand, surfing and sailing for me. Perennial threat of fires in a country extroadinarily dry after 11 or so years of drought. It may be that drought is the new norm here.
Cold ham and turkey, home grown salads, fruit, Ice-cream xmas pud, good local wine. Our usual friends xmas with a reduced group as the kids are flying the coop with 2 in living in NY and one in Saskatchewan. But our 3 resident yanks are still with us and we'll be thinking of you all and having a few international calls over a long, long lunch.

Merry Xmas, just a bit of red and green.

I was hoping to have Christmas Bush or Christmas Bells as the card for the Forum this year, but I can't find any plants flowering, non at all. I talked to gardeners at the Botanic Gardens here in Canberra and they told me the climate has changed, and that very few summer plants have bloomed this season.

So, this non blooming Dicksonia Anctactica on Black Mountain Peninsular Lake Burley Griffin, is your blooming Christmas lot.

"our blooming Christmas lot." said Skuthorp. Quote me correctly.

No, "So, this non blooming Dicksonia Anctactica on Black Mountain Peninsular, Lake Burley Griffin, is your blooming Christmas lot," says I.

Dicksonia, the soft tree fern is found in cool temperate rainforests in SE Australia. It is also found in the wet sclerophyll forests and gullies here in the Territory. There is only one wet gully on Black mountain where the fern naturally occurs but most of that gully has now been incorporated into the National Botanic Gardens. I find this sad, because the only naturally occurring wet gully here was beautiful but has been turned into a psudo rainforest theme park and cafe with little to no access, wet boardwalks are dangerous for the cafe latte set. I knew this gully well before the Botanic Gardens was even open. I spent much time in it when I was a kid. We would visited our Canberra relatives over Christmas (back then) and I'd go and look at the snakes and ferns. My only company then in the gully when I was younger, were the black and brown snakes ... not the cafe latte set.

Visiting last Sunday, but with official access denied to the gully, was my blooming Christmas lot as well.
