Thank God, finally it has rained! It has howled and poured. This has meant three really good things. Firstly there is obviously the water issue. Most of the rain we get round here is somewhat cosmetic. It is light and most of it evapourates before it has the chance to soak in. But not this week! The water table will be slightly replenished now and the ponds are all full....every little helps!
Secondly it means that Phil gets a bit of time off shovelling. I'm all for having a boyfriend with big muscles...but not one who is so tired he cant even communicate in anything more than grunts at the end of the day!! The rain has given his weary body a well earned rest.
And thirdly it all very conveniently co-incides with Chrissy Cool visiting so we could spend some good quality time with her and not force her to sit and watch us shovelling and tractoring all weekend!! There is plenty of time for that next time she visits!!
The willows have grown six inches in about three days and the howling winds reassured us that planting the winbreaks was the right thing to do!!
