It's Been RAINING

It's been raining finally!!!!

So much has happened over the last 3 / 4 weeks that I have really struggled to cope with. We have had so many fires, lost over 200 lives and over 2000 homeless. That is without stating the loss of flora & fauna both native and domestic.

We have had several fires within striking distance of where we live, one on the town limits just before Black Saturday, two within 1 hrs drive, in two different directions, one fire within 45mins drive in another direction. The only direction in which a fire never came from was Melbourne!!!

However, over the past week we have had drizzle rain on and off. We hadn't had any rain in over a month, I think longer and will correct this later. If you would like to see some photos, check out Lee-anns site down the right hand side.

I have spent most of the year wanting to cry, never so much as the last month and stories coming from the fire fields.
