... Part of your garden becomes a mud pit

and when later, that mud pit becomes a mini pond

and when your dogs decide water bowls are no longer required, because they can drink off the grass

We've had soooo much rain over the last few weeks, and just when you think its over and that everything will start drying out, it starts raining again. My garden has looked like that for about 3 weeks out of the last month, and guess what, its raining now, with flood warnings for the next 3 days. Crying or Very sad

The dogs are enjoying it, too much for my liking. They especially enjoyed the mud pit, and I guess once the water dries up a bit, it will be a mud pit again. After the mud pit they felt the need to re-decorate my floors with pawprints. We're going for the "animal" print look at the moment doh I can only hope it's a passing phase ..... as I like my floors unprinted and clean

@ Vanessa

We also came out of a 6 year drought - our dams were running at 17% capacity, and we were on severe water restrictions. And then in July last year, overnight (literally) the dams were filled and overflowing. It seems we've had a lot of rain since last year ....
