We’ve been in serious need of rain for two years now with
our dams running dry, municipal fines for watering our gardens and occasionally
water cuts with no running water in our houses at all. Then yesterday the first sounds of thunder
could be heard and pretty soon, we got the most welcome rain in years! It kept falling and by late afternoon it came
down hard accompanied by hail….. which became bigger and bigger the longer it
came down. I so enjoyed every moment of
the sound, smell and possibility of all old germs being washed away that I
never even thought of damage being caused.
Some people really had severe water damage to their cars
and houses and this morning at work we were inundated with insurance claims
from damaged floors. Sadly it is not as
if we can afford to take on any more work.
This is what our breakfast area just outside the kitchen
looked like late yesterday afternoon.
Got home from work, started dinner, put the parrot to bed
and then tried to clean some of the mess.
I used my trusty leave blower or reverse vacuum as I call it and pretty
soon, it almost looked fine again.
The rest of the garden however is one massive leafy mess and
at this stage it seems like it will take forever to clean.
