Living on the farm we are dependent on Mother Nature. We need rain at the right time and we need sunshine at the right time. Us, our crops and our livestock all depend on rain. So far this year we have had 215mm (8 1/2" in the old measurements). We are fortunate as there are other areas that haven't had that much. We have survived on less but we are praying for a wet Spring.
One of our favourite activities to do on a rainy day is to go and jump in mud puddles. Regardless of the weather conditions, Winter or Summer my daughter loves to get wet and muddy.
It's all good clean fun, clothes and bodies wash but you can't wash away that smile.
Enjoy

Oh Ann your daughter's face is priceless. It says it all.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get plenty more rain.

Thank you Kylie, muddy fun is sometimes the best fun.
DeleteI love the sound of rain on a tin roof. It's a beautiful noise! It is very dry here in suburban Brisbane, the grass is brown and crunchy and we are hoping for rain too. Love the photo of your daughter, what fun playing in the rain and mud is! Meg:)
ReplyDeleteThank you Meg, mud is such good fun and we love mud because it means it has rained.
DeleteWe are in desperate need of rain Ann. Last night we had a bit of a storm but not much rain, everything is super dry. I love that first photo of the rain pattering into the puddle (and the last photo!).
ReplyDeleteThank you Belinda, yes we are desperately needing rain too. Hopefully we have a wet Spring.
DeleteI know how much the area was needing followup rain so I am glad you got some. Here's hoping there are no late frosts to stop the crops from becoming lush.
ReplyDeleteWe on the other hand haven't had any rain since Cyclone Debbie. It is hot, brown and crunchy. Thankfully we have a bore and this is keeping my veg garden going. The heat is sending the lettuce to bolt. Am bit of rain to water and take the temps down a little would be most appreciated.
Here's hoping Jane that the rains come soon. At least you have the bore to give your garden a bit of green.
DeleteYour daughters smile is full of fun, such a gorgeous photo. Oh how I wish for some of that lovely rain. Really enjoying your blog.
ReplyDeleteThank you, we are still hoping for some rain to finish the crops.
