Oh no, it’s the rapture

What a beautiful evening! Slipped out for a walk while Tom was napping. Tomorrow, more rain, but tonight we feast on sunshine and green, green grass.

On the way home just past MacKinnon bridge on the north side, there was an entire wardrobe of clothes draped sporadically around the rails and pathway, including a pair of pants. The rapture? Don’t tell me those bastards were right.

The bridge over MacKinnon Ravine – the site of the latest rapture episode?

A Respite From the Rain

MacKinnon Ravine

It was an absolutely beautiful day. Everything is so waterlogged (but green!) — the sun is a welcome sight. Made it down to the (very high) river. We are 30 to 50 mm above our normal rainfall for June, and there’s still 6 days left!

As of today…

Addendum on June 29 (from Josh Classen): “Despite a near-average number of days WITH rain…we’ve received WAY more measurable precip than “normal”. Long-term average for June is 78mm. We’re at 114mm so far this June with even higher amounts elsewhere in the city.”

22C, about 14,000 steps (including walking around Safeway).

Brooding Sky

Nicer than it seemed…

A great (and rare) after work walk with Tom under a brooding but non-productive sky (so far). One of the casualties of working from home are the regular walks home. Kinda miss that. Used to be the highlight of my day.

Lilac Season

It’s not only lilac season, it’s Oilers playoff season. Here we are walking to the game. Weather permitting, I park along my old street in Oliver and we walk to and from the games. Usually ends up being around 10,000 steps. Not so fun fact: we lost 6-5 to the Colorado Avalanche.

Yeah, we didn’t win…
