Backyard flowering a little

The Buddha like the rain and water.

We ignore this orchid and look how it repays our 'care'!  It's beautiful!

Some of the Broms are flowering.

 

It's Been a While

It happened again - not the 30 years later but 11years from the last flood.

The fridge floated. The water actually came up the driveway to the second last bricks.  It was up to my knees under the house - less than last time but still really the last thing we were planning to do ever again.

Some of the rubbish out for collection - mainly from our neighbour.  We did have our share.

Our back yard - it didn't go into my studio - thank goodness and we saved all my books and magazines (I really didn't think I had THAT many).  We also saved all my fabric - my husband & son didn't even make a comment on the number of boxes we brought up from the studio - bless them!  We now wait for the builders to arrive (in a month or 2) to repair or replace an indoor stair case, paint and then we should be able to go about getting the floor covered again and everything back in place.  My thoughts go out to those who do not even have a place to put their heads.  I can't imagine what they are going through.
