Such a pleasure to go to sleep at night hearing the rain falling heavily on the roof above.

I woke up this morning and found our pond very full - the rain fall has helped, but so has the drainpipe we have running from our overflowing guttering around the roof as well.  The water is now right up to the line of rocks and much more rain will mean I’ll have to turn the tap we have on the pipe so the water doesn’t start overflowing the pond or going back up the pipe feeding the pond.

Maybe we really should consider putting in a rain tank.

I couldn’t resist photographing these when I saw them a couple of weeks ago in the garden - after some rare rain overnight. But I was too scared to pick them and use them in the kitchen - I don’t know the difference between ’safe’ mushrooms and unsafe ones. However, they looked so perfect I just had to photograph them and share them with you. They were in the remainder of our vege garden down the back.

This one was just peaking through the autumn litter.
