Oh my god. I cant believe it... It has acctuly rained. It has been so long since it has rained... I forgot what the clouds look like. I have never been so happy. I cant believe that it actualy rained! Its been SO long since it last rained... I would have ran outside in my underwear to run around in the rain if it wasnt for the lightning and thunder... Its been SO long since i last heard thunder, i was so scared... But Zeriga (my boyfriend) Stuck by me... Which is something that he would do. I love him for all he does for me.

Anway but to the rain. It scared the living day-lights out of all the cafs and they all ran to the end of the padic and huddled together, though the thunder and the lighning. Australia is such a dry place, i honestly thort we would be forced to move because of the drieness. If i gets too dry there will be no water to water the padics so there will be no grass for the cows and they will die and that means there will be no milk, and that means we will go broke.

Australias drought isnt over yet though... It would have to rain for thirty days and thirty nights for it to go away. Sometimes i think its ironic that in some places in the world it is flooding and they have to much water... But yet we have hardly any. Just like the adverts on the television say: "Every Drop Counts." Its very VERY true. The rain yesterday was enough to water the padics and that means grass, Grass means happy cows and happy cows mean milk. When you have about four HUNDRED COWS TO MILK it gets really hard. All the fences are falling apart and theres not enough room for all the cafs, and cafs are still comming in.

For all of you who live in Victoria/Australia like me and my friends, you would have been around to witness the beautiful rain. Its outstanding. it filled the rain water tanks up a bit and everything was soaking wet. It was even hailing, the hail balls were huge. I was scared. And happy at the same time. I feel sorry for those who got stuck out in the middle of it. The rain was beautiful, though it didnt last for very long and after about half an hour the sun came back out. Well... I sposse it time to return to the normal heat of October. Its very hot down here... And it getting hoter. Im worried, though this rain will help us survive for an extra couple of months. I thank you who ever is up there that oviously likes Australia.
