You can have too much of a good thing. When rain was predicted last Friday, I was relieved. The gardens were looking a bit dry. Quite a bit dry actually. As we were finishing for the day, the rain began. And has kept on going.
I'm blogging this Saturday morning. It's the first sunrise I've seen all week. It's wet, more rain is predicted. Honestly, we've had enough thanks.
Despite the rain, Paul & hubby did a brilliant job yesterday. I was home nursing a sweet Miss 3 who has a recurrent gastro infection. Poor kid. Poor me. So much washing, so little sleep.
Take a look at the weekly pictorial update...
This was taken Tuesday morning. A few days later, the water was level with the brick path. Haven't been to the garden for a few days, so I'm not sure how the plants are coping with very wet feet.
Hubby's camera on his old phone isn't the best (his good phone is being used in an artwork currently), but this shows clearly how much effort the guys put into edging the bike track.
It's great to see shape coming to the track at long last.
It's anyone's guess if these tyres will stay put, but at least for now, they are marking out a new path.
More tyres ready for burying next week.
A neat row, ready to go...into the ground :)
Not sure what this is about, but they make a great jump/hole filler!
And more tyres. Lucky we have over a hundred.
The creek has flooded again, spilling onto the bike track. Pity, as we only started dredging it out.
Paul did a great job cleaning debris from the bush. There's been a whole lotta neglect going on out there for too many years. But no more!
The bike track is deceptively large. The completed track should keep the local kids happy.
Awesome Paul, sorting the rubbish from out back and disposing of it responsibly. There's a lot of glass waste, ie beer bottles that are now being recycled correctly, and making the track so much safer with their removal.
Look carefully, and you'll see ducks on our new lake. The guys started an awesome job of filling the sunken ground, and a digger would have completed an arduous task. Sadly, the rains hit before the job could be finished.
Oh well, if all goes well, we'll revisit this task in a months time.
The lake is not all that far from the chess board. Can't wait to see that ground built up, the creek dredged and a drainage channel put in. That way, the area will be usable even in inclement weather.
At least wildlife are enjoying the circumstances :)
There you have it, another week, albeit a very wet one, done and dusted. Stay tuned for more soon.
