... than the smell of dust, and then wet ground, as long awaited rain begins to fall...

The dam level is very low, but not too low for the ducks to have a waddle. They've taken over the dam in the past weeks - which is exactly where they should be :) I have a feeling that this gully is going to be deepened with the gorgeous heavy rain which is falling as I type :) |
With the 30 - 40mm of rain which is predicted over the next day or so, all the plants and trees will get a good soaking, the grass in the paddock will be allowed to sprout and provide feed for the alpaca's, the rain tanks, which are all less than 1/4 full, will be filled, and the air (and solar panels) will be cleaned and refreshed.
Thank God for some rain :)
Dani - 2 naked canadians are rain dancing and sending you as much rain as you need! much love!
ReplyDeleteyour friend,
kymber
kymber - RMan and I had a good laugh - thanks :)
DeleteThe Western part of the U.S. is having a severe drought. We are doing ok here, and I'm glad you are getting some rain there. Sounds like you need it.
ReplyDeleteHarry - We had 50 wonderful mms :)
DeleteDani, as soon as I saw "nothing nicer," I thought, "It must be raining!" Because the weather we are hoping for - whatever that may be - is always such a joyful thing :)
ReplyDeleteQuinn - I know one needs sun for the Vitamin D and for photosynthesis, but if we don't have water, we wouldn't have a need for anything else :) 50mms so far - what a relief :)
DeleteI know how you feel about rain. October is usually a dry month for us, but it's also a fall planting month. I have two pasture areas planted in forage seed plus a patch of winter wheat, so I'm hoping and praying for just the right amount of rain to get it all growing!
ReplyDeleteLeigh - It wouldn't have been so bad if we'd had our normal winter rainfall, but, sadly, that was below average this year.
DeleteI hope you get the rain you need for your forage - RMan's first attempt at sowing oats was not successful.
