Pitter
patter, drip, drip drip…. The welcome sound of rain on the roof of the tin
shed. The usual Winter long dry spell
now appears to be broken!
A
few days earlier, we had enjoyed the briefly flashy splendour of a fast-moving
thunderstorm. But there was really nothing in it. Just a half-hearted attempt by the weather
gods to get us excited over the prospect of rain.
But
this is Queensland and the start of the storm season, so we knew that rain would soon
be upon us. And today it has
arrived! A day long steady stream of ground
soaking rain, in dispersed with the occasional heavy downpours.
In
the morning we scampered out to the orchard to quickly plant a new fig tree.
There was no need to use a watering can, the rain soon watered it in. However, whilst the garden will benefit from
the rain, not all creatures are welcoming the weather.
This
soaked Koala and her joey, do not seem as impressed as we are!
