wet wet wet

and more rain predicted...it just keeps on falling. The Mary River catchment to the north of us here had 300mm (that's 12 inches of rain) yesterday. Making communities there at risk of flooding.
some visitors from the country came yesterday...for Brisbane it was a day without rain..wow.
dress ups is always a popular game here...
always
good fun
a magnificent sunset also...amazing..
off to church this morning early. the sermon on "water" based on the lectionary reading of the baptism of Jesus by John in the river Jordan, was very appropriate, considering the circumstances we find ourselves here in Queensland.
some of the finished rugs were gathered in. and someone (me) took a terrible photo of them in a hurry before they got taken away.
And then it poured with rain on the way home!
May God go with you this week.

Flooding is terrible by itself without the snakes and crocs. Yikes! And, twelve inches of rain in one day is something else. In addition, the feeling of powerlessness is scary.

Prayers are going up for all of you.

I'm so wondering how much rain those clouds could hold, it seems endless. Keep well, love your visitors.
