Rain rain, you can stay as long as you like!

How wonderful it is to hear the rain we are having today. They say this is a welcome relief for lots of farmers across Qld. Over 200mls has falling in some western areas already. Spring will be good for so many! 

Came home from a quick shop and thought I would get my camera out to see what was dripping with water. Then I noticed the wonderful glorious MUD in the back yard. It has been so dry for a long time now and the grass is very thin in patches. We did go over it with the fork during the last week to try and get some holes for the water to sit in and penetrate into the ground.....but it was wonderful to see the mud!! 

I also found some lovely drops of rain hanging from flowers around the place. Looking like sparkling little crystals.

I was trying to get some rain drops hanging on some berries when suddenly a lorikeet fly in for his lunch
