From Fires to Floods

What will Mother Nature come up with next for all of us? After the Colorado wildfires come the Queensland floods - fortunately we, too, have been spared (so far!) As I write this blog, the sun is shinning for the first time in 4 days. (It was pouring rain up until about an hour ago!) The weather report is for a few days of drying out weather, then back to the rain and wind. I will be madly washing clothes and TOWELS - needed to clean floors, feet, dogs, and used as water barriers for leaking downstairs walls. So far, no damage - we're keeping our fingers crossed! Lots of people aren't so lucky. Here's a photo from the front page of today's Courier Mail, showing Shaw Road yesterday morning (about the time I was driving Rachael to school!!), which is a mile or so from our house.
We'll keep you "posted"!
