Resurrection!

A photo taken yesterday and sent from Townsville.

A week post-cyclone!  How wonderful is Mother Nature!  Thank you so much, Sylvia.

Or looking at our Townsville house as it was yesterday, shouldn't I be thinking that:

Our place! 

Photo also from Sylvia!

Notice how all our fruit trees 

have been Yasi-ed!

Sad! Sad! Sad!  See that big gap there? Those were once several of my healing trees: those trees especially identified as having all sorts of miraculous healing properties and since these were particularly slow-growing ones, I planted them early, about 10 years ago, so they'd be fruiting in about 20 years time, with the intention of making jams etc from the fruit and thereby escaping all the nasties that usually accompany the aging process.

So they were about half way through their maturation ... and now this! Mother Nature can be very cruel, can't she!
