Thank you for including the video/audio of the cicadas. I grew up in the U.S. south and miss hearing them as we don't really have them much in the desert of El Paso. Love that you jumped in your Juke - so cute - and went out to get a dose of Mother Nature. Nothing makes me feel better than being outside in the sunshine. Hope you are back to 110%. Wishing you good health and much continued happiness in 2025.

Aww thank you Leslie. I am glad they brought back some memories for you. Cicadas and the language of summer.

I am taking my time doing this 'getting better' thing which is why I am a bit late in replying to you.

I do love my new car and she is a good one to drive...

Take care,

Denyse x

What a lovely river visit, Denyse. I like the green surroundings and the cicada noise which is definitely the sound of warm summer days. Thank you for your weekend coffee share. Have a good week and happy New Year to you and B.

Thanks so much Natalie. I am late to reply to your kind words. The sounds of summer are universal! It's now cold and rainy here after a very hot day yesterday.

Take care and I appreciate your warm wishes for 2025 sent our way.

I’m so not a camper but I know it’s such a great area. Haven’t been all the way down to Wiseman’s Ferry for years but I am really loving connecting with the mighty Hawkesbury River.. because it’s been a touch stone in many parts of my life…thanks for sharing too! Denyse x
