To lift the spirits

I overslept this morning and have to dash out for a botanizing trip SW of the city - back later : ) It's going to be wet underfoot, as it rained heavily last night. The last thing people needed, coming straight after our Flood of the Century, just when many people had started to "dry out"!

Haven't been watching the News quite as closely as I should have been. Just found out that several parts of Calgary, mainly Sunnyside, had flash floods yesterday evening, two weeks after the beginning of the Flood of the Century.

"Fourteen days after historic flooding caused millions of dollars worth of damage in the northwest community, a Friday evening thunderstorm left Sunnyside under a significant amount of water. Water, as deep as half a metre in some locations, remained in the community for nearly an hour before it made its way through city drains."
