When it rains after an extended period of dry, the gum trees blow bubbles of joy. 2023’s winter and spring were dry ones. Cattle prices were dreadful. Feed was becoming expensive. Then it rained and rained. The Gum Trees on our property blew bubbles and I was delighted to share their happiness. I felt like blowing bubbles too!
