Spring soon will turn into summer and the weather during the day is already so awesome.

Over the last couple of weeks we had quite a mix of weather – typical spring. From lovely warm and sunny days where you easily get sunburned to torrential rain that flooded the valley.

The weather has not been too amazing over the last couple of weeks.

Not that we lost winter in a hole, but the valley got so soggy over the years that we used the still good autumn weather to dig drainage in preparation for the wet winter time.

The last bit of rain has been some time ago and the weather forecast shows no rain for the next two weeks.

Merry Christmas to everyone. Its been pretty wet all of yesterday and this morning the valley greets us with a bit of ponding water.

We had a few hours of exploring our little bush strip in the gully.

Spring is in the air. The weather is getting warmer, so I did my walk down into the valley to check the water supply to the troughs, checked all fences and gates.

Winter seem to have finally arrived. Frosty moorings with frozen grass. The was ice on the digger seat!

Another storm has been announced last night, so early this morning we finished the horse shelter area and moved the two boys over so they are going to have a more comfortable place during the day when the weather closes in.

The storm that hit us last Tuesday evening with wind speeds of more than 200km/h (Manukau Heads) left us without power and internet and only limited cell phone coverage. Power was restored yesterday afternoon, 3 days later.

We have officially started the fire season. It’s pretty yucky and rainy out there. Hope everyone is well.
