It's raining

So, as I type at my computer tonight, it is to the relaxing sound of rain on our iron roof. This rain is very welcome and up until last week, we had only received 10% of our normal rainfall so far this year. It was the driest period we had experienced while living up here, and we've lost several tree ferns and even a few young eucalypts that had come up themselves and were five metres high, succumbed to the dry conditions. But, since the beginning of March we've had just over 200mm, which is great news, and a big relief. If the rain keeps up over the next day or two, we might even be flooded in.
