rain... glorious rain

The rain over the last week was about as close to perfect as you can get for us - 82.5mm at home (Glenrock) and just under 100mm at Mondure where we grow your hay.  Nice steady rain that fell over a few days.  The lucerne paddocks and horse pasture blend in one paddock are now looking fantastic - but it will be several days before we can get on the paddocks to start cutting, and longer if more rain falls.  One of the horse pasture blend paddocks really needed to be cut last week, so the lucerne in it is looking a little old, but the grasses are powering ahead.  The drought is by no means broken, but this rain has certainly lifted everyone's spirits.  We hope that is wasn't too much for those of you on the coast - certainly the falls we have heard were much larger than ours, but we DEFINITELY didn't want that much rain :)
