Rain.........

Wow what a contrast of weekends.......

Last weekend dust storms 38-39 deg temps

this weekend rain........real rain...........useful rain.........

I had heard it raining during the night but to finally get up and go to the rain gauge and find it almost full...........(its very old fashined and an old Fowler jar but then I tip it into a measure that I keep inside)..............to measure 83mm of rain.........water everywhere........OMG SO EXCITED

pretty sloppy feeding the calves........

the house dam is full and so are all the other ones I could get to..........

had to move the cows to some hay...........they still need to be fed.....along with everything else.........I had so much fun out in the mud checking everything.........clothes splattered with mud..........yippee

another full dam.........so windy yesterday..........

I was riding around on the bike with a jumper and coat on all day..........and got the big doona out last night...........snuggled up in bed was so good......

summer is gone and autumn is here........

the calves yards had water front views all day.............

but sadly the wind was so strong it was picking up dust in some paddocks yesterday afternoon............so I'm still not cleaning............

BUT hopefully this is the beginning of the end for the drought.............its gone on for way too long...........but as you can see we have have nothing on the ground so its got to start from scratch in many places.............

BUT its a start and restores hope to many.............

Catch you later.............
