Pegging sheets on our rotary clothes line this morning, under a wide blue sky got me thinking about the gift of sunshine. Although too much sun causes skin cancer, small amounts of sunshine give us essential vitamin D. As I pegged the sheets to the line, I thought of the smell of sunshine on sheets and pillow slips, and the fact that sunshine kills house dust mites that tend to live in bedding. A large silky oak tree acts as a backdrop to the clothes line and at present it's covered with golden flowers that act as a magnet to the friar birds that squabble in its branches.
On my walk this evening with Major I met a young couple and their daughter who are spending the night at the Mitchell Showgrounds with a big horse transport. Isabelle home schools her daughter Cindy as they travel throughout Queensland and the Northern Territory, delivering horses far and wide. Mitchell is their favourite place to spend the night; in fact they love Mitchell so much they've bought a block of land here.
