Rain

Yup. It finally came. This is the kind of serious rain that we need. I know other parts of Southern Australia have been having rain for a few weeks but now it is here in Canberra.

And let me show you our water storage which I use to water that very thirsty rhododendron and my plants on the front verandah.

Three of them are large plastic drums which were used to bring olives to Australia. The red one is a traditional metal 44 gallon drum. The water from the downpipe is diverted into the drums and in this photo it is closed as all the drums are full!

And from the verandah you can also see my frog pond.
