Finally rain

​we have had rain. Woke up to it and it’s been raining off and on all day


It’s light so it’s perfect. The very hard dry ground absorbs it beautifully. No flooding no puddles 

Hubby must of felt the changes because he spent Saturday getting the firewood ready for winter 


He has filled three of these crates

They’re easily placed right next to the house with the forklift. Saving our backs 

I actually left the house today. I know I’m surprised as well 

I met up with Claire for coffee and chat 

Our friend Diane is in the UK visiting family. We face timed her and it was just like she was there with us 

Modern technology is truly amazing. Growing up international phone calls. we’re very expensive. We had to wait till after seven in the evening so we could get cheaper rates 

Claire helped me find some doonas for the farm house. I needed four one each for the two beds. And two for the sofa beds 

I finally got home and except for cooking dinner, I’ve been busy stitching

The quilt top is growing nicely 

I’m spending the evening looking out at the rain, well until it gets dark. 

It really is a lovely sound.

  1. Rain has its uses - filling the water tanks here is one. Mr B has become more appreciative of rain since living on a rain water supply.

  2. The rain is lovely when it comes down gently and soaks right in, so welcome. I have to look up doona now.

  3. Rain falling on an iron, or tiled roof! I love the sound. We're supposed to be having some this week. The garden is very dry.

  4. We've been fairly dry here all winter. Three straight weeks of freezing fog was nasty.
