What a difference some rain makes!

 

 

Hi everyone,

Although the drought is not over and we are still on level 5 water restrictions.

We have had rain and everything looks so much greener!

 

However, the green grass, 

makes it so much easier to spot the dead trees.

 

Conifers and pines have not done well.

I'm still doing the following..

1/ turn shower on and get wet

2/turn shower off shampoo hair

3/ turn shower on to rinse hair 

4/ turn shower off again for second shampoo

etc. ect.

 

Below is a time line over the last several months... (some of which I've posted before).

 

Well, with the rain so came the weeds to cover the bare patches. 

There is a succulent issues all over the NSW Tablelands.

Which, I am reliably informed, is natures healer after a drought. 

It will nourish the soil and protect it from soil wash-aways  in heavy rain

and will die in the first frost.

He can't find his precious throw toy!

 

These weeds grow 30cm overnight!

I kid you not..

 

 

Graham bought a ride on mower.

The above pic, I took 20 minutes ago. 

Its taken him all day to mow the lawn.

But, the roses are loving it

and they all survived, although are a bit messy and need a prune.
