Open up your hands and

feel the rain come on down.

Today was the first spring rain. The kind where you smell everything is damp and earthy smelling. You can practically feel the flowers getting ready to burst even further open and the grass to magically turn green and every single blossom tree ready to blossom forth.

It's kinda soothing, distant thunder soft and not turning out the lights (yet). The sky has a quality that makes it rather yellow, but not sickly yellow like those creepy summer storms.

How spring is it where you are atm? Still winter, Gone to Mexico, turning Fall, or are you already dancing around a May pole?

That sounds super fruity.

I haven't been outside all day. It looked kinda warm though.

It was a really nice spring day today. It was dusk on my drive home from the field trip, and the temperature was nice enough to crack my windows, so I got to have the nice warm thaw envelope me as I traveled the country roads. It was fantastic.

First spring rain? It rains here for most of the winter and right through spring. So, when it stops...I'll know spring isn't too far behind. It's warming up here a bit. Usually around 8 C. Sunday should get up to 11 C.

Our first rain happened a while ago.

Unlike yours, our rain smelt of the half-preserved carcasses of hundreds of deer that had been burried beneath the snow and ice for numerous months. This wonderful, springy smell intermingled with the decomposing leaves and various vegetation to create a heady, poignant vapour that was...

Oh, it was wonderful. Real springtime air.

I've been looking forward to this. It's been too cold this past week. I'm sick of wearing a sweater!

I wore shorts to work yesterday. Spring is here! Or rather the season in So Cal in which it's warm.

It is getting warmer, but still bloody cold. The wind was fair strong today though.

There's a drought here at the moment. No rain makes me very sad. :(

It's been warm and sunny here. Of course, it is Southern California, so it's not like there are many options here.

All that rain gave us a killer fog this morning. Couldn't see the valley at all.

Unfortunately being in England the weather cycle is very much like Canada's and since I can call up the weather in Vancouver whenever I like, I have to admit that the weather is similar to that of there which means...
