OMG it stuffed up and rained.........

Super eXcItEd here............last night it RaInEd 
I am sSsOoOoOoOo HaPpY.......
Nearly 2 inchs of rain (48mls) 
(photo sourced from internet)
This means we have now had just under 7inchs and we are 9 months thru the year............our annual average is 20-21inchs so we are a long way short but lets hope we get some more and maybe just maybe the cows will be coming home within the next month...........and we can stop feeding the sheep.............and boy that will be a happy day...............
the cows will stay in their break and we'll see what the weather is like at lunch time.......(me and black soil roads don't agree).......maybe we'll have to go down on the motorbikes to let them out for some grass.............see what happens.......
....house cleaning here I come............
.........take care til next time.....Chookyblue.........

I hear you about the rain... Not sure but here we love the rain in the spring and summer so that our crops and grass grow. Winter for us is a different story WE do not like that too much but it is needed for the moisture factor.

Yipee! Take care on those slippery roads and enjoy making use of the gumboots once again. Fingers crossed there is more on the way. Happy quilting Sue SA.

It rained down here all night as well. Glad you finally got some rain. Not sure I would be that excited about the house cleaning.

Lovely news about the rain and another good thing - that should dampen down the seeds and poolen at least for a while - hope it rains more.....

That's fantastic news....I think it has arrived here now...looking a bit grim outside and windy........Oh it WILL be a lot brighter for you heading into summer and Christmas in the Chooky household now....I am so pleased.....now don't get bogged!!

Jan said...

Not excited for you about the house cleaning - that's what I will/should be doing today too - but definitely excited for us both (and your cows!) about the rain. I'm sure the new veges and herbs DH and I planted on Sunday are very grateful.

Susan said...

Whoppee!!!!! for you - we too have a little, but being city slickers its not so desperate for us.
