Strange

 Many of you have commented about seeing  our floods and the devastation on the News.  We're happy for the concern shown.  We did have a flood and a few businesses were affected.  Our river is still high and muddy; but it is within its banks. The real damage is way to the north of us, and as that water makes its way through our state, it will affect towns to the west of us.  So we're pretty safe here--we hope even the snakes are back in their rightful places.  But the crazy thing is.......
Me, Daisy
We NEED rain--would ya believe!  Even with the high river, our garden is drying out.  Everyone is watering again!  We keep getting clouds, but the rain goes around us.  We don't want lots of rain, just a couple of hours of steady, gentle rain every week or so would be good.  Seems strange, but there you go!

    Yes, we could never understand the weather too. It could be raining in some places and in others, very hot sun. Hope you get the little bit rain that you needed.

    We are very glad to hear you aren't affected by those horrible floods we saw on the news. We don't understand it either but last summer it seemed to rain a lot but it was constantly dry. The rivers were up at times but still everything needed to be watered more. It is strange. Glad the snakes are back where they belong. Lots of love, Holly and mom

    The floods have been the lead story on the BBC news ... again. Was it this time last year we were talking about a drought, wheat shortages and forest fires around Canberra ?

    Hi girls - we're sure glad that you're not floating off somewhere! But how odd that you still need rain - we hope you get a gentle drizzle - but that's ALL! Schnauzer snuggles - JD and Max.

    We're also glad the flooding is not having a devastating impact where you live. Better to have to water a little than row a lot. Hope all this crazy weather world wide isn't the new normal.
