Last week we had a sprinkler system fitted to the house and surrounding sheds. It is run by the fire pump, out of the house tank and douses the house and outbuildings with water.
We did a test run today and, for a moment, I could pretend it was raining.
This fire is about 10km north of us and with the cool change will head further away. I feel so sorry for any residents in its path and I know that one day it’ll be our turn.
We have the hoses out, the fire tank filled and are now watching and waiting. With the wind as it is we shouldn’t be in trouble but ….??
Peggy is doing a fantastic job raising her twins and they have grown so much since the last photo’s.
I’ve been watching our last girl to calve pretty closely over the previous few days but not close enough to actually see these little loves being born.
