The green green grass of?


 We haven't had decent rain for almost a month and the lack of rain coupled with hot days often with drying winds has meant that the boys' paddock - who we have now had for three years - well the boys, not the paddock, we've had the paddock for five - has become bare of grass. Once we get some decent rains it will green up nicely and the boys will be able to graze contentedly, but until that time, we have to hand feed them with lucern rye grass and, when it arrives in the next couple of days, a big round bale of wheat grass.  Hopefully the boys will enjoy this new addition to their diet.

Same problem here down the road at Blue Knob. Our veggie patch died, we watered it as much as we could. It's just heartbreaking to look at the dried out crop!
