Well it’s not quite winter – 9 days away yet. But on Thursday night the first BIG storm came through! Woken at 3am with screaming winds and hail lashing our bedroom wall and windows. Wet and wild all Friday. LOTS of rain on Friday night.

Then this morning as Rob and I sat in our lounge room having breakfast, I noticed something different about the air, something…clean…and fresh…and full of the rich leafy smell of our garden.

It’s been such a long dry that I’d forgotten how good it was, that smell:-)

And the birds were very happy and very busy!
