As I mentioned in my post earlier this week - the rain came down this weekend ............. and messed up all our farm roads again. They turn into a thick, sticky mess when it's like this. I know they don't look that bad in the photo's, but believe me they are a nightmare to drive on, depsite having 4 wheel drive - even our tractors get stuck !
A particularly nasty, muddy bend in the road above. (It's almost guaranteed that someone's going to get stuck here soon !)
At the moment we're busy spraying herbicide on many of the fields to kill off all the weeds etc before planting soon. The farm water truck (above), trails behind the sprayer so that there is enough 'water on tap' for the sprayer to mix the herbicide with - but he got stuck yesterday on the muddy road, so the sprayer had no access to water.
Which was just as well, really - because as you can see in the photo above, the sprayer ALSO got stuck ! He was unlucky enough to snap an axle at the same time, though ! So .... no spraying until the vehicles are un-stuck and the axle is fixed !
And Mt Meru - all newly washed after the rain - rose up through the crisp white clouds, and seemed to smile down on us all !
