π§π§π§ So much more rain is needed π§π§π§
The old nursery rhyme that starts off with:
π΅Rain, rain, go away
Come again another dayπ΅
Please rain, don't listen to us - WE NEED YOU NOW!!!
We need you to rain continuously for days/weeks - not heavily, but continuously - PLEASE.
I've just looked at the Dam levels and we will need to get all the rain dances happening right now, otherwise we will AGAIN be in a whole world of hurt come summer time.

Please keep up with all of the water saving ideas that you are using or have read; I personally DO NOT want to go through another water shortage during summer and nor do all of the gardens (veggies and flowers).
