small insignificant cloud that was sitting right over the feed shed, turn into drought breaking rain that will fill 3 of our dams and cause that funny green stuff to grow? I dont think so. For some strange meteorological reason, all storms that get to Massie seem to do a quick left turn or right turn and go somewhere else.
Ok, we did get 7mls the other night and another 4 mls the next day, but that is hardly the rain that Townsville has endured over the last couple of weeks.
How sad is it to see on Sky News when they show footage of city streets with water just torrenting down the gutters into the drains ... going nowhere ... doing nothing ... or helping the people who actually need it?
I bit my tongue when I was half way through my blog the other day when my computer crashed because of the electrical activity and thought to myself "it's ok ... its ok that I have been sitting here for over 1 hour posting photos and writing because we are going to get some good rain, only to lose it all because Ergon Energy couldnt manage continuous supply!" Im not really that bitter and twisted about it. Hmmm. not really!
As you will see in the next photo, yes, the rain did come from that cloud, but not at Massie Lodge! We figure that the property around the corner copped this nice lot of rain. It looks really eerie, a bit like a mushroom cloud.

How frustrating is it to see this? So close but yet so far!
Anyway, all the Massie Lodge canines were looking after their delicate skin (???) and Bessie Merle was wearing Evan's hat to combat the sun.
The Spikey-man, under the shade of a Coolibah Tree. Well, not exactly a Coolibah Tree ... but a very nice tree that sits outside of Dirty Girl's yard (she is in the background).
All the Massie Lodge canines are taught basic obedience during their puppyhood, so that they are all well mannered and do as they are asked and it has taken a little bit longer with Spikey-man to get the "sit" command down pat. Reward and Repitition is the method that we use with the dogs and it certainly has held them all during their life in good stead. Spikey-man just takes a little while for the command to go inside one ear, and then round and round the brain till it hits command centre!
