The Morning After

They are calling for more rain today but right now, the birds are singing and the sun is shining in the backyard. I love the smells after a rain and we definitely got rain yesterday. Not as much as to the south and east of the city but we got enough to make things green and 'a little extra'. I am sure those mosquitos will be out thick as molasses in the next day or so.

I know we had lots of rain as our trees don't usually show how wet they are but the trunks are dark as they are saturated with rain. It looks cool. The heavy rain also helped them to drop their pods and settle the pollen in the air. I am not looking forward to the poplar fuzz that usually starts about now. Maybe it won't be as bad this year. Last year at a provincial park we were at it looked like snow on the ground as there was so much poplar fuzz everywhere.
