most of Australia is in the grip of a severe drought which is obviously affecting food prices.
I am very grateful that I know how to grow food plants and that although I live in a low rainfall area we are serviced by a massive dam, so no water restrictions. The landlord also pays the water here and arranges lawn mowing.
I need to remind myself that I have some things to be grateful for in life.

Hello, a girl in my school looked at me that way a couple times, she gave me hints. But I didn't know what to do. One time I tried speaking to her but it didn't work out at all and now we just ignore each other. That was months ago. Last friday she looked at me like that again... I like her tbh but noone likes me anyway cuz im the outsider. So is there any point in asking what to do or will we...

Yes, we do have so much to be thankful for. I am enjoying the fruits of my labor.....fresh veggies. Wish I could grow avacados and fruit. Use to have an apple tree, but it got a disease and had to be taken down :*(
I am happy to purchase those fruits and veggies I don't grow to the local farmers though......they are struggling due to the tarriffs.
I know here a lot of farmers have stopped milking because of the money they get its actually easier for them to go into beef then to keep milking. Even though we live in a farming area theres next to no farmers market and if there is its for the city people and yes you pay top dollar for the stuff there. Its a bit messed up in my part of Australia!
Plants really do much better with rain water. My gardens thick and lush and green. Of course.... the weeds are thick and lush and green too. The mosquitoes are keeping me away from weeding.
NSW is in 100% drought and is dealing with bushfires its winter here.
Gentle empathy for the folks *down under*.
There seem to be extreme weather events a lot in US. I hope you all stay safe.
As much as i hate bushfires or bad storms or cyclone i would take them over a drought any day of the week.
