Wet, wet, wet

It's been a very wet weekend up here as it has been over much of the eastern half of the state. It began raining late afternoon Saturday and kept up over night and much of Sunday. But we only copped good, soaking rain - about 65mm worth over the weekend, not the 200mm that Murwillumbah, which is only 55 mins away - received.
Just before the rain set in on Saturday afternoon, Steve and I planted 9 trees and shrubs that we had bought or had given to us as presents since the beginning of the year. We'd been waiting for the ground to be nice and moist before planting. So in went three frangipani, a coffee tree, wisteria, yellow sapote, Thai guava and an Indian fruit tree starting with S that I can't remember its name.
The creek had risen above the bridge sometime during Sunday morning but had gone down by Sunday afternoon. Provided we don't cop a heap of rain today (which I don't think we will) we shall not be flooded out!
