Very late Spring: Last week of November 2009Melbourne received an unexpected downpour this weekend. No cats or dogs fell from the sky, but at least 60mm of rain was recorded! We don't really mind the rain these days in Melbourne. Especially after the heatwave last week, we actually welcome the rain with open arms, hoping it will last for another week or so to at least fill up the dams! When a downpour like this occurs once in a blue moon, a mini waterfall will start flowing from the "Big Leaky Hole" in the roof of the pergola in the backyard. So we pulled out all our pails, potted plants, and even our 70 liters rubbish bin-water trolley convert, and placed them under their desginated positions to collect all that precious water!!! Uncle Rudd should should be proud of our efforts! :D
It brings back memories of the days when I was growing up at grandma's house with zinc roofings, full of holes from rust. So when the rain comes, we will gather all the basins, pots and containers in the house, set them up in their strategic positions......and let the drip-drops together with the pitter patter on the zinc roofings, create a symphony of rain music! Plink-plonk-plonk, plink-plonk-plink.....ah....memories.....
This little dove must have got caught out in the rain! Caught sight of it sheltering under our weber! Must have been cold! Poor thing!
The rain has slowed down to a slight drizzle now, leaving little drops of water-pearls of on the leaves of the nasturtiums, making a very pretty sight.
Took a little peek on the nestlings, they are about one week old now. They looked like they have more feathers and have developed a little bit of dark greyish-brown colour to their skin. Huddled together to stay warm in their little nest, they look so cute! Stay warm and safe little ones! :)
