LAST

It's raining, sort of, here.

 

[KayTheCurler]

Yesterday the rain lasted all day. It lasted all night. It is lasting today too.

Should we start building an ark?

Last Thursday.

LASTER, still Thursday. My dog wants a walk. It is raining. I do not like walking in the rain. She is whining.

 

[KayTheCurler]

Mine hates getting his feet wet - except, of course, in a lake.

Blustery Friday, though sunny and hot...garden is almost all planted

 

[BethAnne]

Okay, I think (fingers crossed) the garden is all planted - just needs to grow now (and be weeded)...other than the weeding, the next "big" project is to put mulch down around the raspberries (so I don't have to keep weeding around them) - which are behind the garage (left of the picture)

Thank you!

1.5 inches of rain pounded down in 1.5 hours and it's still storming...and I had watered everything half an hour before the rain hit and there was no sign of a storm coming at that time.

I would not like to live in such an unpredictable climate. I'm sure it's the wind that changes things so quickly. It was one thing about the Prairies that surprised me (and, I disovered, bothered me) was the persistence of wind.

We are not "generally" a very windy area (unlike Calgary and the southern part) but it's been quite windy the last few weeks.

I live half way down the slope to a deep basin containing an ancient, deep (150 ft) lake. We get breezes and wind, but basins and an undulating surface mean a lot less wind. And yeah, Calgary, where my tent turned upside down.

Upside down is nothing...we were camping as Guides just east of the Calgary airport (and east of my gramma's) and we had to CHASE our tents as they blew away - and we even had heavy rocks inside to weight them down

Partly my fault. I'd arrived late-ish, couldn't see well enough to do more than a minimal pegging, and "all" that was in the tent was an air mattress, three feather pillows, all my gear, etc. Very windy place.

yep, minimal pegging doesn't work out here

Especially not for a light woman, in late October, in a small tent. In my defense, it was a late, badly-picked pick, after an early, worse-picked choice.
