This Is On My Mind……

Rain.

I know it’s hard to see in this photo but trust me it’s bucketing down. 

After two days of hot and humid weather you would think that it would become cooler but no such luck.

This is the view from my sewing room window.

It’s still hot and humid and very, very tropical. The stupid thing is I have the reverse cycle airconditioners going as they remove the humidity from the house and keep it at a comfortable tempreture. Whatever happened to normal weather patterns? While yes we need rain we also don’t need it. Even though it would apprear the flood threat has passed the river is still very, very high and a close watch has to be kept on the levee banks to make sure that all is well.  Spare a thought for the fruit growers too. This rain and humidity is having a devistating effect on their crops.  One grower Ashley saw said up to 70% of fruit on each tree was worthless due to rotting.

Thanks as always to Rhonda for the inpiration behind these posts.  Have a look at Rhonda’s garden (just click on the link) and how wonderfully organised it is.
