Last week we had snow, this week its just rained and rained but the land can use it. The creek at the end of the property hasn't flowed so well for the last 2 years the locals tell us. The ducks are loving it and the frogs are croaking with happiness. We are so fortunate that the builder has poured the concrete slab before the rains came.
We had visitors up from Melbourne today and we took lunch at the Collective Cafe with winter soup. They told us that they visited Trentham Falls before catching up with us so we took a quick visit to see the result of the recent heavy rainfalls.

Only today we met a neighbour walking her dog down our street and we introduced ourselves and she asked the question - how did you choose Trentham as a home. We said we didn't, it chose us to which she exclaimed, "then you belong here". It was cold today but her comment made us warm.
We feel the same about our farm in this part of France...it chose us, and there was not much we could do about it except go along with the opportunity to live here! As for that lovely rain!...... we are as dry as a dessert here, so a few rain clouds sent our way would be good!
ReplyDeleteDo our best to send rain Vera but well you do have summer!
DeleteLovely, lovely rain. The falls must be thundering. When we saw them in summer 2013, I think, there was just a damp line on the rock face.
ReplyDeleteBC summer weather on the coast cool 14C today. The garden seems to be thriving, so no complaints.

Janine, you were here in our neck of the woods - really?
DeleteI feel your rain pain. Ours has passed, and now we are enjoying something resembling summer! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteNo pain Walt - the rain is welcome as the land has been dry and from brown, the land now has turned a lovely emerald green.
