Slow Rain

25 Comments

We’re having a rainy weekend. It’s a very slow, soaking rain that’s excellent for our officially still-dry conditions – thankfully this area was removed from the drought list in January – so I’m definitely not going to complain about it, especially as the temperature is still relatively warm.

I’ll be happy to see the return of some sun, though …

… which is supposed to occur by Monday.

Happy Sunday.

          2. I think most of my recent pictures of it have been taken in the sun, and of course it’s changing rapidly right now with all the plants beginning to bud, so that’s probably why you didn’t recognise it. Cheers.

  4. Nothing beats a prolonged soaking rain. We have had 4 days of snow flurries and I fear most of the moisture will simply run off as the ground is still frozen. Hopefully it will fill some ponds. Our sun returns Wednesday, maybe. The poor geese seem so lost right now. Thanks for reading. Happy Sunday. Allan

    1. Thanks, Allan. We definitely got that, Allan. I was so pleased to see it. I had forgotten that you’re still frozen and your snow melt won’t soak in. Agreed – hopefully it fills ponds. Yes, any returning water fowl aren’t getting great conditions. We still have our massive coot flock; they haven’t dispersed yet. Maybe they sense that their more northern nesting sites aren’t ready yet!

    1. Thanks, Linda. Yes, your area seems to be getting some late winter weather. We seem to be heading nicely into spring but will still need regular rain. Our area is doing relatively well considering that there’s a lot of concern about the situation in northern BC where more snow was needed to put out the “zombie” fires that are still burning underground from last summer. Everyone is hoping for more rain, especially for the north.

    1. Agreed. Days and days of overcast and rain is rather dreary, although I understand that we still need regular rain in this area because of last year’s drought. We had a beautifully sunny morning but it has since clouded over and we are supposed to get some more showers. Because we’re getting close to April, I’m reminded of this little rhyme: April showers bring May flowers. 🌸 Cheers.
