rain is a BIG thing for people on the land and out here, receiving good summer rain is such a blessing. people from greener pastures, probably don’t understand our fascination & excitement about it. but when the paddocks have hayed off and the dams are going dry, good rain gets everyone excited! it can turn things around, giving renewed hope for the coming season.

an unexpected storm today topped up house dam & brought the xmas-new year total to almost 6 inchesthe view towards the hills – you can see green grass already

the emu apple trees looking greener than ever
