Wild spring weather..

I had been really enjoying the onset of warmer spring weather over the last week or so..

The apples are blossuming...


The red currant fruit is setting...


And the fresh greens in the garden are finally starting to grow enough so that we can harvest them for meals..


And then came a few wild days... first came the rain and wind....



 Then the wind and snow...


The snow came late for the wildflowers in one of our local reserves... (Creamy Candlesticks - Stackhousia monogyna) 


Making the most of spring snow with some friends at the Pinnacle Picnic ground on the slopes of Mt Canobolas

Summer storms....

Just had a great summer thunderstorm through.... dumped over 15mm in 5 or 10 minutes ... mainly as hail... still rumbling outside so may get some more...




Arghh the vegie patch... the kids pumpkin is all spotty now ..........lost a branch off the apricot tree as well ...



Got some good water into the rainwater tanks though.. well what did not flow out of our shallow 1980's guttering.
