Silly Sight of the Day!

The sight?     Well, me, actually, standing out in the rain, watering my garden!

As you know, we're in a drought here in Australia.    In Melbourne, we're only
permitted to water between 6am - 8am two days a week, the days depending
on what your street number is.

This morning I got up early to get my garden dampened down, as we're in for
some 30C + temperatures this week.

While I was watering the front garden, it started to rain, but kept going anyway,
as it was only a short shower, which doesn't even keep the dust down!     The rain
soon stopped.

Moved out to the back garden, and proceeded to water that as well.    Here's where
the really stupid bit happened:

It's raining a bit harder now, a huge thunderclap is rolling around me, and I'm
standing under a tree, hose in hand, watering the veggie patch!

How stupid can you get?   Wet, under a tree, in a thunderstorm, hose in hand
........ sometimes I doubt my sanity!

The rain really wasn't enough to do more than make the top 1 mm of soil damp,
so the watering needed to be done.   At least I'm saving a little money on veggies,
as the beans and peas are fruiting nicely, and other plants are growing well.

Hi Alba,

Of course there's nothing wrong with that - We can water the plants in
the rain anytime we like! :-)

Hi Lisa,

Yes, it was fun, and rain is great - it's raining this morning, which
is very unusual, and I went out in it because I could!

Hi Jen,

Well, I'd normally be booked by the water people too, but it was during my
two hours permitted watering so I was safe. That's partly why I was
doing it in the rain. We have so little at present.

Today's rain is so very welcome, sorry, we need it all here, so Georgia
can't have any. :-) Our reservoirs are not doing well at all.

Hi Lisa,

I heard about the California fires - I think you get the same type of winds
and weather that we do. The hot North winds from across the desert
in summer are probably the same as your "Santa Anna" - they have
a disastrous effect when the bush is tinder dry.
Let's hope this year is better and we get the much needed rain.

Isn't nature funny. In the bucket it's red but, on the car it's just plain dirty.
