Soaking rain. Soaking into the poor cracked bare earth that is our backyard. Soaking through all the broken branches and twigs and dried leaves that blew to the ground in all the wind earlier.
A big branch from a tree in our front yard fell on our power line at lunch time, Powercor were around to get it off within half an hour. A couple of weeks ago a tree in our backyard split in two and threatened the clothesline.
We’ve gotten out of all this pretty lightly and we’re very grateful. I just keep looking out the window again to check the rain is real. It even went into our tank.
After the Bloke climbed up and pulled all the broken twigs and leaves out of the way.

For the first time in some weeks, I slept soundly and without disturbance.
Mind you, the real rain freaked out the kids.

We’ve had 8ml in the last 24 hours and it’s raining again now. I keep stopping to listen to it. We evacuated yesterday and drove home in the dark, in the driving rain. I never knew how much I could LOVE rain.

It certainly has been a wonderful change…
The news that the CFA are starting to sending extra crews back home has eased my mind just that little bit more.
