We went bush for Mothers' Day, today - an afternoon spent with our daughters' children and their "parents-in-law", plus Dave (the husband of one of the aforesaid daughters of the parents-in-law).
Now, if you've sorted that out, take another peek at the nice little creek above - your typical SA country stream. typical reflections and gum trees, just an idylic bit of Oz.
Never mind though, I can't think of a satisfactory alternative to this storage, that will suddenly appear at the foot of Dave's property. All we need is a decent bit of rain to fill the dam(n) thing, and there isn't much prospect of that, so the weathermen say!

It won't, theoretically, be there in a couple of months. It'll be five stories under the surface of a reservoir, designed to serve the expanding northern suburbs of Adelaide, and so we continue to reshape our country.

Anyway, we had a lovely time, four mothers were suitably impressed with cards, flowers and (from the children) suitably slobbery kisses.
And the youngsters had a lovely, dirty time in and around the creek on this benign Autumn day.

Beautiful granddaughters, I must say.
We are finally getting some warm weather and sunshine this weekend- up around 75 degrees F today (about 22 degrees C). Tomorrow is supposed to be 85 (about 27 C)- rather hot for here in the nowthwest.
