Weekly diary
A look at a random winter’s week in my life.

The mulch pile
A giant pile of mulch stands between us and our dream home.
Storm surge
We weren’t entirely unscathed by Gabrielle, but we are left feeling very grateful.
Another month’s worth of rain
The rain fell quite spectacularly this week. We’re now in our fourth year of weather monitoring, so how wet has the last year been?

Saying goodbye

Our first drought
Our lifestyle block is officially in the middle of a drought. So, how are we doing?
An ode to rain
Rain, rain, come again! Here in the country, rain is an important part of life. Without it, we’re screwed beyond belief.
