Rain drops falling all around me....
We have received two days of beautiful rain! This land needs rain so desperately that it would take a whole two weeks of rain to quench its thirst and dryness.
Last Friday night & Saturday (while some of my family where up at Dixons creek for a working bee) It rained contentiously though the night. IT was a beautiful sound waking up and hearing the rain fall on the tin roof above you. Then it rained (/ poured some) most of the day Saturday.
Yesterday it sprinkled on and off during the day, then in the evening it rained ( go to Charity's blog to read about our walk last night. :)). I must say if you haven't ever spun around in the rain before, you really are missing out.
Update on Family camp: three weekends ago was out RP family camp at Dixons creek. It was a wonderful time of food, fun, & fellowship. The talks my dad gave, and Lynsey's sermon on reconciling relationships where very good and useful (For me it least). It was really good to just be together with the Lords people.
The week after family camp was great as well. I believe you all know that Allen and Zachary came out, and that now we (the Blackwoods) are official permanent residence of Australia (if you didn't know, now you do). They made it just time time for Camp, and then mine and Charity's Birthday. They where only here for 10 days, but it was a very lovely 10 days. IT was almost like they never left.
The weekend after Dikko, we 6 kids went up (Sat. day morning) to Karin & Lynsey Blakstons for the afternoon. We went to Hanging Rock again, and had a picnic! :) Me and Maria had a near death experience- after we tired to find our own way down. sigh why can't the Blackwood children be normal and take the path!??!. But thankful after some panicking, calling out to some strangers, almost tears, and a crowd of people gathered 'round- a very nice Ossie bloke (older, don't worry =)) helped us get down. and we made it back to the PATH, and found the others who where waiting at the bottom.
That night we went to the City with Jono and Lou B & Matt and Justine G for out birthday. We went Lazar tagging at Crown, and then went to get some food at the food court and just walked slowly along the Yarra River, watched the torches light up, then whet and got some ice cream. It was a lovely day, and i couldn't have asked for anyone better to share my late birthday party with. :)
Allen and Zach left two Tuesdays ago and now its just normal and boring again. :) Actually life in the Blakwood house is never really boring. Tomorrow Ben, mum, and I have our home school group (oh what fun... not. :) jk, it's alright- just not as fun w/o C and M there), then the next two weeks are school holidays. Yeah! Easter weekend we might go away camping with some people, but we are still deciding if we we are going to or not. Then Easter Tuesday-.... like three weeks, I am cat sitting for The Lumleys (an older couple from our church) who are going away on holiday- so that should be interesting to see how that goes.
