It sometimes takes a while for things to sink into our overcrowded brains.

Finding a good coach can be very hard. Sometimes we have to work with what is available to us and step up from there.
Our area will green up fast once we get rain. The smoke will actually have caused many plants to release seed and will cause more to grow. A lot of our plants need a hot fire before their seed becomes viable.
I am concerned for our wildlife. I will try to see if I can find any that we can help and will try to set out some food for some of them. I fear that many of our critters will have been lost and will now only provide easy hunting for things like feral cats which I really really hate.
I was lucky enough to see one of our native dogs the other day. The dingo ran through our place but stopped at the electric fence as he got zapped. His fear of me was more than of the fence though and he went through.
Now we are entering what should be our wet season we will probably end up with some flooding when it does rain. It will take a bit to flood though as all the dams and natural watercourses are bone dry or close to.
