It rained a couple of weekends ago like we’ve never seen it rain before. 6 inches in 48 hours. It just kept coming and caused local flooding all over the farm. With all the water draining to the back paddocks, the lucerne was under threat of drowning, so the dust was brushed off an irrigation pump - having been out of action for 8 years - and off she went. Channels were full, parts of paddocks under water, the homestead dam full, and the labrador thought all her Christmas’ had come at once. The farm is so green at the moment - walking into the garden is such a treat for this time of year. There are flowers everywhere and the lawn is lush. Ducks and ibis are all over the farm. Frogs are in chorus and even mozzies are around. The Farmer keeps telling me rain is the source of life. I think he might be right.
