It’s springtime in Melbourne. My weather app forecasts scattered showers for the next 6 days. I stare dismally at the boys’ shoes which are torn up with holes – they go through shoes faster than clothes or haircuts. I’ll have to pack extra socks for when their feet get wet.
Rain brings mixed emotions.
For some, rain means cold, dreary commutes with dripping umbrellas. For some, it means slippery sports conditions. For others, it means an invitation for hibernation.
But for farmers? Rain is an answer to prayer. It’s desperately needed for crops, livestocks, and livelihoods. Aussie farmers are anxiously watching the skies waiting for rain to come now.
