It's raining...finally!
After the long dry spell of summer, boy am I glad to see the dark thunderstorm clouds looming ominously over much of Melbourne and the whole state of Victoria this weekend.
Though Melbourne didn't get much of the rain, the state's northwest had plenty of downpour which is where it is most needed. Now that's gotta be a huge relief for a lot of the farmers who're doing it tough with the drought.
Not to say my garden doesn't appreciate what the Almighty could spare us here. Every drop is precious so I thought I might just save some for later! Don't laugh, you would do the same if you don't get rain in your part of the world.
