A long day

I'll be leaving the farm in 2 days, and my last 2 days are all about fencing again.
Today we woke before 6, even the sun wasn't up ...
around 8 we were already driving posts into the ground, digging holes, and enjoying a very healthy and fit day's work.
As usual, the sun was blistering, and the heat made the work harder. I drank some 5 litres of water, and still i think i got a bit dehydrated, so you can imagind the amounts of sweat i lost.
Anyways, toward 1630, it started pouring rain, like the best days of winter back in israel, only that the temperatures weren't as cold, so we left the paddock and started to get back home.
Amazing, pouring rain, country views, small currents of water running down the offroads, the smell of fresh rain filling everything out.
On the last part of the way, i stood on the back of the van, enjoying the air, the smell, and the view of the country side after the rain glimpsing mirrored sky and trees in the ponds along the way.
All the different weather in the same day, makes you wonder and think about life :)
Anyways, i'm dead tired, and i'll be hitting the bed prety early tonight, since i have another day like this tomorrow ...
And then ... back to the road and adventure :)
