We have had no rain to speak of for the last 4 - 5 months. A few mls here or there but barely enough to reach the ground where there was mulch. But oh how things can change.
We have now had nearly 250mls of rain in the last 3 days which is more than we have had in the last 8 months combined.
Much of the grass had died off and you can see some of the brown patches in the photo below. These will take a while to recover but that green in the photo was not there a week ago, it was a field of brown. Grass is amazing resilient stuff.
We know that for us the lack of grass is nothing compared to what our outback farmers have been going through and hope that many of them have also benefited from this rain.
All around our community bridges have flooded and are being cleared of debris and a few people are cut off until their bridges are cleared, but none the less we are grateful.
I hope that where ever you are the weather has been in your favour.
250mls !!!!! That is a down pour. So long as its captured and doesnt cause the top soil to run off down the hill.
