I thought with a 7 day forecast like this, that we were about to have some more rain. So I dashed around and gathered drying seeds, cleared a few beds, stripped the corn and stored away the drying cobs for the chooks to eat during winter.Well, we didn't get a drop of rain. Instead we entered one of the hottest beginnings to March (Autumn) on record...argh!!
