More rain!

So...'when will it stop raining?'...said no one from Stanthorpe ever.We have had another 47 mls today and it is still raining. That is now over 100 mls in the last two days and the forecast for tomorrow is even better than today's.After missing out on rain for so long we seem to be striking it lucky at the moment and I have not spoken to anyone, so far, who has had as much as us in the last few days.We knew it had to come eventually but it is just so wonderful that it is finally here.Our three tanks are overflowing and we can do nothing about it but at least it is going into the ground.Can't wait to see the difference it all makes.

Happy Frog!

Someone is happily singing about the 60 mls we have had so far today!

The day the rains came.

So...today it really rained.We were told to expect it but so often predicted rain never comes and even though I try not to be too hopeful at high percentage predictions I am often left bitterly disappointed. We had an 80% chance of 10 to 20 mls today but we just got 38 mls in about hour. It actually teemed down and rivulets were running down the hill past Blue Moon. The garden paths became streams, the gutters couldn't cope and our tanks are now full again and were overflowing!Yesterday the dam was bone dry but today look...

Even better it looks like that is not the last of the rain for the day and there are similar rain predictions for the next four days.' Send her down Huey!'

It's official!

Stanthorpe has run out of water! The town is now relying on the 42 truck loads of water being brought from Connolly Dam near Warwick.Here at Frogknot we have about 10,000 litres in our three tanks so will be fine for awhile.Fingers crossed for the predicted rain over the next few days.

Tonight's sunset.
