A Reflection on 2008 ~ Our fifth seachange year

I started this post on the 2nd February (if I can read the date right, we have our dates "backwards" in Australia. I imagine I didn't finish the post because of the extreme heat prior to the horrible bushfires on February 7 and the heat at our place again on February 8. Everything this year is before and after the bushfires rather than last year and this year. I thought it was worth still publishing though I am not going to continue photos for each month, unless I get some time and add them in, or continue in another post. Since I have done a post for all the years I have been living here in this remote location, away from urban living (though it is really not that bad, though it may depend which day you ask me) I will add this with links to the other years, 2007, 2006, 2005 and 2004 (continued 2004) with another 2003 which was in a rented farmhouse, with more posts about it in the seachange label.

It is getting on in the year now, this was to be for the New Year, now it is a record of another seachange year.

I found a great blog post reflecting on 2008 at Ferns by the Fireside. There is also a Mr. Linky on the place where Saminda got it from, so I can visit some more posts. I didn't blog here in January but thought I would start there. I don't have the original sentences from actual blog posts, it was nearly mid-year when started blogging. It is from my photos, not actual blog posts.
