It's raining. Again.

Just when you think the ground might get a chance to dry up.... I actually saw some dry dirt a couple of days ago - it'll be all gone by now though. Been pouring down for hours.

Looks pretty icky. The pink stuff is pretty much what is lurking over us right now.

Tuesdsay and Wednesday look a bit better - I'd like to say "sunny" but I doubt it somehow!

Hope it eases up a bit before the cow calves or her little nursery paddock will be a mud pit in now time.



In the middle of this pic is the swampy bit in the gully of the paddock next to the house. Usually you can't see water in it but we've seen water sitting in there for the past few weeks. Overnight it has gone nuts - just nowhere for the water to go.
The mud in front of the fence is where the pic below of the pregnant cow was taken, looks almost dry there!




And the poor chooks, clustered on the back porch. They really think they should be inside, in front of the fire, with a nice bowl of muesli...
