Rain!

Well, Australia has been in severe drought for the past few years, but this news article gives us some hope. Some rain has begun to come, and in the right way. Not so heavy it does damage, but slow and steady.

The article pointed out something else though too:

While Mr Manning was happy to see his paddocks wet, he said there needed to be good rain over several weeks for the water to soak through the soil and have a lasting effect: "When it's warm, wet and mild like it is now, it's perfect. The rain is really welcome, but it's one thing to have enough rain to grow grass and another to have enough to fill dams for stock water."

So, lets pray for rain!
