Sorry, I missed this post. I can’t see my dermatologist. She’s not in this province. The next time I have an appointment with my doctor I’ll ask for an appointment with a new one. My last treatment she cut the cancer out then used some type of ointment that burned it out.. it never grew back.

I’m glad you’re finally getting rain Kadee.
A lack of water is a serious problem.

This area had a very grim beginning in the 1800’s as it has lots of water (sea) but no fresh catchment or storage for fresh water
All our freshwater with the exception of the rainwater we catch and store in tanks ..our mains is pumped from a tiny town where the Murray river flows through which is about 3 hours drive away from us

Have a safe trip home Kadee. I hope it rains at your residence all during your journey back.
Don’t forget to take loads of pictures to show us.
 
Today is very windy so we went on the forest trail. It is only 14 degrees here in the city and it rained a lot last night and this morning so the rivers are really flowing.

I can’t help but notice the growing ground cover here on this trail. Besides the ferns there are white flowers everywhere. There’s also a flower called the Pink Lady’s Slipper. Here it is

Today I saw all kinds of painted rocks which I moved from one place to another.
I saw one really nice rock along the pathway that read ‘Love Yourself.’

We walked approximately 4 kilometres today and saw 4 people and 2 dogs.
Have a nice day.

Today we walked along the Atlantic Ocean trail. It was 17 degrees Celsius with a slight breeze. We almost walked the whole trail …..but 3/4 of the way we were stopped by the remains of a dead animal. I didn’t see much of it before my husband literally walked in front of me to block my view while turning me around. Yuck! It looked like it could have been a cat. Anyway it completely ruined my walk. These are the pictures I took beforehand this happened..

This is your first time seeing snow? Wow! 😮
Was it scary driving in it? How was your husband? Traveling 600 kilometres a day is a lot. Do you stop at restaurants or make your own picnics?
 
Today we went to the park for our walk. We scooped 2 wild blueberry sprigs to plant at our home garden.

When we left, it was very cloudy, when we came back there wasn’t a cloud in the sky. We stopped by the garden centre to pick up some (6) pink wave petunias.

@Kadee

I saw snow when I visited Kryal Castle in Victoria. It was cold .. I was surprised to hear there is snow skiing there in winter.
 
We are in Mildura right now …….. @Pinky it’s the first time we’ve actually traveled through the city part of Mildura in years …if we travel this way we normally bypass the city part , which is a rural city ….so it’s not a big city as such …more
Like a huge country town …only 500 km to home ….been away 7 weeks …to the day ..left on April 24th
