From the tree in my back yard

As I pull myself up to my favourite spot in the tree in my backyard, a cicada buzzes right in my face. Terrified, I almost fall off but I catch myself just in time.


A startled sparrow zips past my head.


My Mum's cooking smells waft up to my nose mmmmmmm.


A sparrow chirps a merry tune, filling my heart with joy.


I can hear Kai snoring from here. Maybe she’s dreaming about eating a bone.


Tyler and Harper's latest sibling squabble rings in my ears.


This is a good day in my household
