Wow! Numerous showers today, including pouring now, (small) hail and downpour earlier.. rain a number of other times this week- we are really making up for lost time last fall and mid-spring this year! (still all good by me, though I'd planned on more garden work this week that has not happened-- got lots of mowing and some other stuff done on Tuesday..)

Many thanks to Rain Mother! This rain system has really been delivering :) (not rare for us to be forecast lots of chances of rain with modest outcome) Heading out for a wet walk- with a lens cloth for the camera..lol Can't wait to see the wet soil (doubt wetlands will be holding standing water but maybe?) and the green is really going to go crazy now!
It's about 6C /43Fwhich is as high as it's been today, and higher than yesterday..lol

I'll give a nod to #Perkuns #Latvian God of Thunder, but really I feel the pre-Indo-European #LietusMāte #RainMother doesn't need help from later interlopers 😉 [edit] Typical male gods feel the need to bluster and boast, the old rain goddesses just get on with it 😉 😆 Meanwhile the puddles are growing... #PuddleOfTheDay #pagan #water #rain #life #OldEurope #GoddessCulture

Yesterday was Mother's Day ( I was working) and Mom's birthday was right around now also, so I always (still, after her death) make a bouquet of the first wildflowers and early garden flowers-I'll do that tomorrow since it should be sunny, more flowers open, but today was a beautiful scouting walk and #RainMother and #Perkuns (thunder god, in case you think the primordial goddesses need help with storms 😉 ) were kind and held off till I was back indoors!

Excellent timing on my part: there was a forecast for possible rain and thunderstorms and I wanted to get out to get some mowing done.
Literally the moment I finished putting on sunscreen (grudgingly put some on lightly, since sun could come out between cloudy bits, but I hate the goopy stuff and washing it off when I come in, esp on face)-- the rain started, followed promptly by thunder. Guess I haven't been reverent enough to #Perkuns (#Latvian thunder god) 😆 #BadTiming #Alberta #RainMother

Not ideal timing for rain for farmers trying to get hay off, but the #soil #trees #wetlands still welcome it #RainMother

Wow-- a few rumbles of thunder and pouring hard now, just after dark after 11pm-- with no forecast of rain or thunderstorms-- we usually check weather for Rocky Mountain House to the 30 km west, just a few clouds forecast there, Red Deer 60km east had a 30%chance-- guess we got theirs! Guess I won't need to water any pots or gardens tomorrow ahead of several warm days, after all! raining even harder now and loud overhead thunder #ShareYourWeather #Alberta #RainMother #Perkuns #animist

It's been #windy for hours with severe #thunderstorm watch for the area (less than a warning, just means conditions exist). Just started raining, and the #toad in the #RockGarden in front was singing praises to #RainMother - maybe also begging #Perkuns (#ThunderGod) to hold off on hail. I'll second his prayers!
Just closed front door: it was barely warm enough before, thunderstorms here tend to drop the temperature significantly. #Alberta #ShareYourWeather #MondayVibes #OutMyWindow #PhotoMontag

(see photos in main post) it was a warm week with daytime temperatures from 5 to nearly 15C, nights -5 to -10ish; cooling off starting yesterday- the real drop comes this week, with daytimes as low as -20C.
Pics are from Wednesday, when we'd had light #rain and a bit of #snow overnight- leading to #ice then #frost probably both #rime and #HoarFrost
A Black-capped Chickadee /Poecile atricapillus came to watch me
