After xmas was over we headed up to the hills again. Everything has grown so much with all the rain we have had. Our neighbour was up in December, when we had a large rain event and she said it was incredible to watch. Gully's turning into rivers. Her dam was full, the highest it has ever been. Lots of wildlife around and lots of weeds, a full day weeding the paths and beds. The weeds are constant but are good for filling the compost bins, then mulching the trees and plants. I think we can expect a large population of frogs next year, as there were thousands of fat tadpoles in the dam next door. That may keep the mosquitos down next year, voted the most annoying this trip. Lots of small skinks this time without their tails courtesy of our small fox terrier. I told her that one day the tail sticking out may not be what she thinks, and she may be lucky to come away with hers.
