From Dawn to Dusk

It is dawn and the first rays of sunshine are poking over the crest of Mount Barrow,

The birds of all shapes and sizes are starting to chirp their happy greetings to the new day.

The morning dew sparkles on the blades of grass, as that annoying rooster crows loudly for his breakfast.

Emily and Lachlan wake from their slumber, ready for the new adventure that will come with the day.

It is noon and the sun is high over the town of Longford,

The cows rest in the shade of the big old oak tree,

The birds chord quietly to themselves.

Emily and Lachlan sit down after a hard morning of chores to their delicious lunch of scones and lemonade.

It is dusk and the beautiful, radiant, golden sun is setting behind the sapphire-blue Western Tiers.

The rooster is crowing from somewhere in the spiky hawthorn hedge.

The grass is slowly swaying in the breeze as all the people in Longford settle into their lovely warm houses.

It is midnight and stars are as bright as a million suns shining from afar.

Now nothing is stirring, not even a Tasmanian Devil.
