It could have been so different today...

Victoria has been experiencing horrid weather of late - high and wild winds, strong and constant rains and it's been very bitter. We live in an area with established trees (it's a country town slowly merging with a large town - bah!) - lots of tall, beautiful eucalpytus trees. I love them. They house so many birds and smell beautiful in rainy weather. However, this is what we woke to this morning. We are so grateful the snap went in the other direction - if it had some towards us, our fence would have been cactus and we'd be spending this Friday very differently. Amazing how life can change in such the briefest of moments.
