It has been raining for what seems like forever and it turns out that the wellies I bought online are the most comfortable (and practical) shoes that I own at the moment. The track that runs along the Nepean River where I sometimes like to walk has disappeared under the water that has overflowed from Warragamba Dam...
My mother, in her ebay craziness, bought me an umbrella which arrived today, and, I must admit, it is one of the best things she has ever bought me. Not because I need an umbrella, but because it is black on the outside.
Boring right? No way! Inside it is a rainbow!
I love it. I want it to rain tomorrow so I can use it. I can jump in puddles, really deep ones, in my wellies and keep my head dry with my own private rainbow (and yes, apparently I am four years old).
The constant rain is causing strange things to happen. Flooding, yes, that goes without saying. But I didn't expect the pumpkin vine to try and escape the ground...
I really hope a pumpkin doesn't decide to grow up there...aside from the risk of getting hit on the head, how on earth will I get at it to make soup?
And the bean tepee actually has some beans on it! I really didn't expect it to. But it has, so hopefully we will get to eat them before something else does. Unlike the chillies. I have no idea what has gotten to them, but I kind of hope it suffers from the heat just a little bit (only a little bit though).
Ciao for now,
Ms. Whatsit.
