yep ... its wet

Last night I lay in bed waiting for the big winds to come.  It rained.  Boy, did it rain!  It bucketed down for hours and hours but the huge winds that, in our area, are the thing that cause the most damage, never came.

That meant that my trees are still standing and no branches have fallen.

Of course, further north, the story is much different to that and its hard to imagine that this country, so often ravage by fires and drought, is also the victim of flooding from violent storms.

The rain does mean that I will have to find a lawn mower ... and soon ...
