Flooded again - it can rain

Well for those of you that are newish to my blog you may think I live in a wet area..............WRONG just go back to here and here and you can see this time last year things were getting very dry.................but since it has started to rain again we are on our second flood in 2 months - very unusual but they always say "a drought always ends with a flood" gosh I hope they are right............

We are flooded again and thankfully not as bad as the last.......................don't think I will ever see that again in my life time....................in the last flood just before Christmas all this was covered in water...........there is grass everywhere...........the stock are looking good.....what more can a girl ask for............

Today was supposed to be the second day back at school but with more rain last night we stayed home...........didn't need to get bogged..........

This morning the kids played in some shallow drains trying to catch yabbies but this afternoon dh took the boat upstream and they floated down the creek..........they had so much fun..........I was the motor bike taxi so I took the camera along.............enjoy..........

odd bit of a gum tree........dh says it looks like a dog????

we have some amazing gums in the creek................I love them.........

the crossing...........

I know I said I would show a pic of my sewing progress tonight but we got carried away out at the creek and it was a bit late for a photo so maybe tomorrow but I did do some playing........

and for some amazing sunset pics go here..............

Goodnight till next time...........

Gorgeous photos, hopefully the saying is true, a drought always breaks with a flood, we too have had ours this week.

O.K. I convinced now - you have our portion of rain could you please send some our way.

Stunning pictures again Donna. The earth must be very dry, because all the water can’t go down.

So pleased you are getting great rainfalls. Hopefully not too much like last time. The area looks so green and lushious. The stock will be loving it or are they are bit soggy underfoot?

What lovely photos - you're knee deep in water and we're knee deep in SNOW ...... I'll update my blog with some snow pictures from our storm yesterday. The weather is always a good topic for discussion isn't it?

Great pics!! Glad it is not as bad as last time. Our floods have receded but we are getting more rain.

we've not had any rain here - i just wish we could have a day of rain - constant, wet rain!
your pictures are gorgeous. those gums really are majestic. when i was younger i really didn't like natives, but i really have come to love them now.
do you think we are the only ones in australia not getting rain at the moment. am i perhaps wishing too hard???

I've got tears in my eyes and a smile on my face looking at all your water and grass, and of course the gums. Yah for the rain.

My goodness it's amazing how good a lotta rain feels isn't it? We've had quite a bit here...not as much as you have had of course! Love the frogs...well maybe not inside the house!

And the gentleman's fancy block sure does look fancy! But effective!

Amazing to see everything so green after your drought. What a difference the flood waters have made. Those gum trees are unlike any trees I'm familiar with, the bark must be quite thin?
Thanks for the great photos.

Those pictures look so exotic! Well to a European city dweller anyway. Thanks for sharing. Take care.

Fantastic Rain - we had 10ml the other night which was great for my garden - you live in a very exciting place. Lucky kids on the 2nd day back - environmental studies you could call that!
