I think we've had enough rain now. The dams are full and overflowing, the tanks are full and the water is lying around in puddles on our hay field! Time for the weather to calm down a bit. Unfortunately that's not what is forecast. We've had storm after storm, coming every few days bringing lashing wind and rain. As well as the rain the trees are falling, across roads and fences. Not good weather for lambing but our new lambs seem alright, enjoying the brief moments of sunshine and their mothers protect them during the worst of the weather sheltering under the trees etc. How we will be able to spray the weeds this season in the hay paddock after all this rain I don't know, the ground is soft and the tractor could get bogged! The creek that goes through that field didn't even flow with water last year and is now rushing. We squelch as we walk across the field too. It's certainly a winter to remember.
