Winter rains have failed and the long hot summers have mercilessly sucked the aquifers dry.
All around this Finca were hollows and banks that have have materialised as ponds and winterborn streams.
The flanking willows are now reunited with water and seem to bow down in gratitude.
These profound rains have shown me where to create pond and pool.
These will now be maintained as oases for all in the long hot months to come.
