Receiving much needed rains

Here it is, past the middle of November and leading up to Summer and we’re experiencing cold, wet and windy days and thank God, much needed rain. The news report on the radio this morning told us that so far we’d received 20mm of water in the catchment areas and that was just by 9am. Hopefully that means we’ll get a lot more through the day.

We’ve been on water restrictions for a few years now and I have a pipe running down the wall at the front of our house and it feeds our pond so that the fish are kept in water. Well, today it’s looking very full and we might have to switch the tap control to prevent it overflowing before too much longer.

Melbourne has always been known as a city of 4 seasons – in one day, but today it’s more like winter and I’m not complaining. Bring on the rains!
