Wonderful rain!!!!

Journal Entry: Sat Oct 3, 2009, 4:16 PM


After having two months of practically no rain, we have had two days of rain and 50mls have fallen already with more promised today and tomorrow.

My garden was beginning to wilt, I have had to deep water my camellias from my stored rain water tanks to keep them alive. From everything looking very sad has come a leaping to life and joy which has to be seen to be believed.

Australia is a land of extremes. And that includes the weather! We go from extreme drought to drenching rains and I love it. I am originally English born and moved here when I was 39. I didn't realize how much I would come to love this place and its people, but here I am.

Now, here I also am, trying to set up a still life which will excite me. I have feeling I want to paint marbles again. And silver, lots of reflections. Again, I want to set it all against black, but I want the table top to be black glass so I will have deep reflections.
Ah well, procrastinate no longer, Freda, get on with it.

Heartbeat always goes up when preparing a new painting. I will post it when it's finished.
