Boo. No rain for 6 months except 5 mm?
That’s brutal! I’d rather have too much rain than not enough. You’re in my prayers Kadee. I shall send over some rain shower fairies.

I’m coughing most days due to so much dust in the air , Queensland and New South Wales have floods from so much rain ….but we keep missing out on any rain @PeppermintPatty
The poor farmers in the Adelaide hills ( mainly hobby farms and fruit growers ) have just about run out of water as they wholly rely on rain to fill dams

Dry dams leave SA farmers deciding to buy water or sell livestock

Awwww. There’s or enough water for crops or livestock. That is very sad to read. I feel very bad for the livestock. I sincerely hope it rains soon. How are your fruit trees doing?

We’ve got mains water , but we usually use rain water to water them ….they are starting to drop their leaves as we are in Autumn now ( just )
When the Cornish immigrated here in 1860 , there was no natural fresh water for 20 years , after their arrival ( only sea water ) so they dug big holes in their backyards to catch rainwater ,which in allot of cases become contaminated from long drop toilets
and as a result many died from typhoid disease ( as many as 600 children died ) as well as adults

Well @Kadee, I certainly hope you get water soon. I’ll even do a rain dance for you. We get enough rain to share with you. Is it always that dry where you live? Can’t you drill for water?
 
We walked 3.5 kilometres today in 3 degree weather and sunny. The ground was still fairly snowy but not slippery. We didn’t see any other walkers which was surprising considering it was the weekend.

It was a nice walk. I’m really looking forward to spring.

Have a beautiful day ya’all.
 
Today we walked our forest walk which was 3.5 kilometres. It was 0 degrees Celsius and very windy. We saw a couple with a Rottweiler. The father took the Rottweiler from his daughters hands. Then we saw an older gentleman with 2 canes pass us. He complained about the wind and we chat for a while.

The trail was mostly snow and ice free.

The main river was flowing quickly.

The ocean is a bit rough today.

Have a nice day.
 
Today is 7 degrees Celsius and we drove into town to go for a walk. While walking we met two other walkers with big dogs. The dogs were unleashed so came directly up to our dogs but I blocked them and told them to stay until their owners got them and they stayed.
Last night we got a bit of snow so the ground was covered.

On the way back I spotted that same eagle who sits on the electrical wire so got some pictures. Oddly enough today I sent my brother an email showing him some pictures of the eagles I took photos of and his favourite was the one on the pole with the electric wires. He says it shows just how big they are. It’s my least favourite eagle photo(s). I prefer seeing the eagles in their natural habitat, like sitting in a tree or flying. Anyway I took some photos of it sitting on the electric pole. The wires look close to it but actually aren’t. I tried getting him/her to move but had no luck with doing that. lol It stood its ground.

Take a picture of the same spot and at the same angle everytime you are there. Then use them as a 12 months calendar sequel.

Ok! That’s what I thought you meant. That’s a good idea. We could create our own calendar. My in-laws created their own calendar using photos they took and gave it away as a gift. What a great gift it was. Yep! That’s a good idea.
Thanks. 🙏
 
Today is 3 degrees and a mixture of sun and cloud. We went to the park again and walked on the trail. We met a couple with 2 dogs. They were leashed and so were ours but I let our dog sniff noses with the golden retriever. It was a young dog and really liked that.

This is the view just before getting to the park gates.
