hi, all
If anyone has any spare rain- please send it our way??!! Drought is here. We've had NO RAIN since Nov.2001, and all sorts of things are dying. The "mighty" Murray River is actually drying up, as the catchments are all below 50% full, and can't release any more.Not good. When one lives alongside the river and in the "bush" as I do, it's very depressing.
I was really pleased last week- GingerLilies I'd had for years actually flowered, and smelt heavenly. I'd told Mum to come and see the flowers, then discovered our resident euro(kangaroo cousin), Currency, had eaten the flowers and buds !!He(Currency ) has lived in the garden for years- in Winter he sleeps in the deserted chook shed- and although he leaves manure everywhere, and does things like this, I think he's great! He's not a tame beast, just chooses to frequent the garden of our Spare house, alongside the river.To save my bulbs and the last roses I ll have to spray everything with a smelly fish-based fertilizer. This stops him for a while- he won't eat fish!!
Anyway- keep well.. "talk" to you next week, if the computers are working!

If you send your star boarder to me I'll send you rain!LOL
How nice to have outdoor friends to watch-once in a long while we see deer or rabbits but your friend would be sooo much fun.Deer eat our garden foods if we don't have a fenced garden but I love watching deer-well I love watching all animals and birds.Your life sounds so different and so interesting but I do hope you get the rain you so badly need.Cheers..Tina

Sorry to hear about your flowers, and the drought. It's so hard sometimes when you're watching plants and even sometimes animals die (if you don't have to put them to sleep yourself) just for a simple drink of water, and then knowing that there are others wasting this precious resource just because they have no understanding of how precious it is and because for them it is simply on tap.
