I hadn’t heard the sound of what woke me this morning in so long that for a moment I was confused.
Ahh. . . Rain!
What a sweet sound and smell.
And not too much rain that would have pounded off the baked ground and gushed into drains and into pipes to blast through the creek, but a nice, gentle, steady drizzle.
Exactly what we need to revive the forest, slowly swell the creeks, recharge groundwater, and welcome the salmon back to spawn in Burnaby, BC, creeks.
It has been scary dry for so long all over BC.
Hope to see you soon, chum and coho!
