The rains are here

Last weekend we had a thunderstorm in Bendigo and we had over 5 inches of rain over the weekend. We have never had this much rain at once and as it was so dry the water soon ran across the paddock. The good news is the house stayed dry, the tank and the dams are full and now, one week later, the green grass is everywhere. It looks so green and fresh.  This picture is from my front verandah - this is where my front garden used to be!
This is the back of my house - don't need to water the lawn today!


This is across the back yard to the orchardThis is the water that is flowing out of the dam.
This is looking across the paddock and the neighbours paddock (out the front) - there is water as far as you can see.
