And the rains came down...

At long last, the drought is broken, Storm King dam is flowing over, and out here at Earth & Soul we've had 204mm so far for March 2021, 164mm just in the last few days. The tanks at the new Earth Cabin are up to 11 rungs in both tanks. The dam is about half full and it's still seeping in.

Doro's Hole on the Broadwater looking a bit brown & muddy but it's full and flowing

Sadly, after being dry for so long, there are always some casualties when the ground becomes so wet and soft.

And then there are some other good things to treasure...

Midge Orchid

Stackhousia

Orange Pomas

Double Bar Finches

Impressive fungi, almost like they are glowing in the dark.

This big turtle looked a bit tired out.

It is great to have everything looking alive again and it will be interesting to keep getting out & about looking for new plants and animals. See you again soon...
