May 1 



HERE ate some days that make 

 you laugh ; days when little white 

 clouds chase each other across a 

 smiling sky, when little breezes 

 play round the tree tops and 

 tickle the leaves into laughter ; 

 when wavelets skip and dance in 

 the harbour, and birds gush and 

 gurgle in the bush ; when the 

 whole world laughs with joy and 

 you must laugh with it. 



To-day was just such a magic 

 day ; it came in with a frolicking 

 breeze, and was welcomed by a 

 burst of bird laughter. Blue 

 wrens hopped cheerily across 

 my grass plot ; chickups called 

 with throaty happy notes from 

 the saplings. Jacky Winters 

 were insistent on the fact 

 that it was " sweeter, sweeter, 

 sweeter;" and down in the 

 valley the voice of the thrush 



CALLISTEMON
