Rain Rain Rain

It's raining a lot, with the occasional clap of thunder. I love the rain so much but I'm conflicted as I finally have my bike ready for sunny picnic-y weather and my kid has FINALLY learned to ride her bike.
We managed to get out for a good ride last weekend and are keeping our fingers crossed for the next one.
High Park is looking green and gorgeous and the birds are everywhere!

We even managed a little gardening, and I am grateful to the rain on my plants' behalf. The rain has kept the squirrels away from my seedlings so they may even survive the week!
Now, if it would just fine up enough for Poppet's cycling class tonight that would be perfect...
