return to Temora via Stockinbingal yesterday...


Today is an odd day...My mind and body feel riddled with anxiety and general fears are rising...
Perhaps it is due to spending quite some time this morning chasing up why I still have not received my bond back from my Mornington Peninsula rental...
Perhaps it is due to worrying about a puppy digging a large hole under the side fence this morning and was running amok...sabotaging potted plants in the front yard (waiting to transfer to the new house) and generally scattering dirt everywhere...
(Of course, I cleaned it all up...
I didn't want my daughter to come home tired from work and find all the mess..)
Perhaps it is due to general frustration that the short, cramped stay with my daughter is now a longer stay till at least September... with all the new house building delays...
All I know is that I really don't feel right...

So I've decided to just sit still with a coffee and glow in the wonders of yesterday's drive...
And write some more about it...

I travelled down Old Cootamundra Road from Temora yesterday, but decided to return via Stockinbingal on Burley Griffin Way...

The photo above is one of several grain train rail crossings on the road...


But of course, it was the countryside that enchanted me...
the greens and the blues and those gracious trees...


At times, the blue hills seemed like a meandering stream low in the sky...


Life may be a cluttered smog at times...but while the trees keep growing in such delightful countryside like this, know that there is always peace and beauty...somewhere...

All it takes is a little willpower to believe it is there and go seek it out...
