Rain..how do you describe it?

What is the description of rain?   A downpour, a shower or just a few drops enough to keep the dust down.

We had the latter,  not even enough in the rain gauge to measure.  The forecast that was issued yesterday, said possible thunder storms, we are still waiting.  But wait... the forecast is the same for every day in this week, so we could have some more rain, maybe.   So, the first job to be done when this is finished,  water the tomatoes and my hanging baskets.

  Up early, it must be Tuesday grocery day.  Only one other person shopping in the store today.  We were in an out in record time.

There was a terrible accident in our city on Sunday, a family of five was taking an evening walk and were mowed down by a pickup truck.   A grandmother, a father, a mother and a 15 year old daughter were killed, a nine year old son is in serious condition in hospital.  The driver of the truck did it on purpose, a hate crime on a Muslim family.  It is now being treated as a terrorist attack.  So sad.

I got all of the things done on my list of "to do's" yesterday.  Nothing is on a list of things that need to be done today, but I am sure I will find something, there is always things to do.  

We were suppose to be in lock down mode until June 14th, however, the number of Covid cases keeps on going down province wide, due to the lock down and increased vaccinations, so as of Friday, June 11th, we lock down has been cancelled and patio's can open, groups of 10 people can now gather outside, plus other places and things are opening with the usual precautions.  
So it seems we are making some progress, little steps.

Dinner tonight chicken plus the usual veg and salad.  Dessert will need to think about that.

  1. Of course as soon as you finish watering everything is when you'll finally get rain. So horrible about the poor family that got run down. How can any human being be so evil to do something like that on purpose?! It has happened here in recent months too. It's so sad.

  2. Oh Pat, what a horrible story about that Muslim family being murdered. I hope the driver of the truck gets his proper due & that justice is served. That poor little 9yo boy! One minute you have a big family surrounding you in life and the next minute they're all gone. How will he ever go forward from here?! *sigh* Prayers for him! ~Andrea xoxoxoxo
