Rain... Water... Blocks
We ended up with 94mls of rain from the ''low'' that came across from Carnarvon it was beautiful steady soaking rain then on Friday it got a little heavier and then our neighbours rang and said they had had 110mls........ WOW... that when we knew that we were going the get water around our house....
Hubby was out on his motorbike checking during the day to see how close it was... it was coming but very slowly which was a very good sign as the last time we could hear it coming through the bush with a roar... this time all we could hear was the frogs coming with it....
The water started to arrive last night about 6.30pm always at night never during the day... hubby was up every three hours checking to see how it was rising...
These photo's were taken 15 mins ago... first photo is up near the pool fence... that paddock is where I rescued the rams last week...

Outside the front fence running past... it comes from that direction...
This one is outside the gate near my sewing room... which is all packed up as it is the first room to go under our homestead is a little higher than the cottage that has my ''cubbyhole'' in it...
We aren't going to get the water through here like in previous years which is a good thing... the ground is so dry it seems to be soaking in... the bush is going to look so much better the saltbush is going to sprout with new shoots and hopefully there will be lots of summer bush grasses for the stock....

Before I had to pack my sewing room up I did get Kaaren's last two blocks of the ''Raggedy and Friends'' put together...
I am still working out of my ''green scrap box''...
The next block will be out today or tomorrow and the blocks are all up there still to download... go check out Kaaren's blog and see her ''moving house''....

Lastly... we do hope everyone in Carnarvon are safe and those along the Gasgoyne River... they have had over 200mls of rain there and major flooding is happening...
stay safe...

  4. Gosh that's a lot of water. I hope you're able to stay safe and fairly dry and suffer no irreparable damage.
