the rains

Last night Mr M put a phone call in to our friends up in the Mallee - his best man and one of my bridesmaids - after the weatherman told us there was 54mm of rain in Boort. It was actually more like 100mm. In one day. Devastating.

After ten long hard years of drought this years crops were looking fantastic, only to be ruined by the irony of rain. My heart breaks for farming families and communities that have done it so tough through the drought and now this. Today they are forecasting another downpour in the north west.
