House worth

House appears to have gone up by $20,000 in estimate, in about a year!

Palms grown, land brown and dry

We have not had rain for weeks and weeks. I noticed this morning that my palms had grown (mostly thanks to my watering, I believe).

This was them last year - 

I believe they have grown taller since then, although the ground is so dry.

Its easy to compare how green it was, this time a year and more ago, by comparison. I have never seen it so dry as it is here before. Awful.

12 Oct 2019 -  At last, some substantial rain, and the garden is soaking it up. I reckon it will be green again (the lawn) in days.
