Oh Those Secrets!!

This is what I say while I am sitting here thinking about writing a quick post on this blog - I'm flat out busy, but I can't tell anyone about it, because everything I'm doing is a big fat secret!!

This is so frustrating!!

This weekend we are settled down in the house, waiting for the rain to stop - you may have heard of the Cyclone that hit Yeppoon    early this morning, we are very lucky that the winds have died right down before hitting Brisbane.

There is some minor flooding in low lieing areas, but nothing near where we are, thank goodness!

It has gone past us and is travelling fairly fast now, and almost at the border.  They say that it may circle back up to the Coral Sea, wonder if they will still call her "Marcia" if she picks up again and returns??

If I had some time , I would do some quilting, just to have something to post about!!  Never mind, the time will come when I can show you what I have been up to, and you will be in for a surprise, so I won't carry on about it....

Well that's all the excitement here for now, I hope you are all safe in your homes and not as wet as we are!!

Take Care

It's Still Raining!!!

and we are just so excited!
I hear that the powers that be will release Wivenhoe Dam tonight, followed up by the secondary dam tomorrow night, thanks to the lovely Cyclone who is heading our way over this weekend - not as a full cyclone, but pretty wet and wild none-the-less. They say we can expect between 200 and 300 mm tomorrow and Sunday.

To prove what I say I have taken some wonderful wet pictures:

See, the garden is growing massively!

And here is water on the hut floor!

The whole garden is a joy to behold at the moment, with all the showers the flowers are all trying to outdo one another!

My cuttings are about to burst out of their pots! That coriander in the bottom right hand pot, was next to dead 2 days ago - it has loved the real rain!

Thank you Diane, I'm sure that your wishes were the reason for all this water - at this point I scream "Thank you, thank you"!!

I may not feel this way for long though, once the dam is released!!!
