flooded again..........

Well the new year came with a down pour like Christmas...............in the last 8 days we have had over 10 inchs which is a little under 1/2 our yearly average...........2009 total rain fall was just over 20inchs...........

I am so exhausted today...........we have slopped around in the mud and flood water (safely Miriam I promise) all day.....I have found muscle in my legs I forgot I had......the flood water came into our house yard (much higher then last weeks flood) and was threatening to go thru the shed like the 2007 flood.........lucky it hasn't......this is officially the 3rd biggest flood at our house since Grandma moved here many, many years ago.............Bookworm has slide down silty dam banks, made a raft, helped us get the pets calves out of flood water, rescued a few chooks who still have flood water running thru their chook house, helped us lift everything essential in the shed in case it flooded and played with his dogs with his surf board in the flood water (not is the fast running areas).......here are some snaps from yesterday and today.......I was loving my new gumboots yesterday but today they got a rest today as the flood water is too deep......we already know we have some fencing to do............not sure about stock yet but hoping they are all safe.......hopefully we have missed the thunder storms forecast tonight.......there will be a few nervous people in town tonight as the flood water hits..........enjoy the pics I am going to fall into bed............

.........take care til next time..... a soggy Chookyblue.........

Happy New Year.............

Happy New Year..........I hope the year goes slower then 2009 which seems to have disappeared in a flash.............thanks to all the visitors and commenters to my blog without the interactions it would be no fun.............
heres to a slower paced 2010...........just hope we don't get bombarded with challenges, BOM etc etc in the next few weeks...........the start of 2009 seems a little like a whirlwind in blogland.............maybe I will take a back seat - a holiday from blogland for a few weeks but I would miss all the other wonderful things.............I would like to get more "me" sewing done in 2010...........no other goals or challenges just a happy and health 2010.....

......off to watch the 9pm fireworks and then to bed......nice quite evening......I know a party pooper but I will be bright and fresh in the morning when some of you will be holding your heads from too many drinks................lol...........enjoy

.........take care til next time.....Chookyblue.........
