Atypical #morning: usually on non (paid) work days, I start slow- go tend to the cat then breakfast, coffee, social media, photo/video editing, writing etc. Sometime in the afternoon I go out: garden/yard things and of course wander and take photos...lol
Today: 'rainfall warning' 50-80mm though that is most likely to fall farther west; I wanted to mow in front of the house before work days- so a couple ounces of coffee and out to mow! Rain /thunder just started now at 1:25 #weather #Alberta

Now really pouring and rumbling- glad for the rain- we weren't too dry, but just did some planting in recent days, happy to get things really soaked.
A couple of snaps through the window- when it had been raining only about 10 minutes- already #puddles forming.. just had a good flash of lighting and loud/close thunder and still pouring.

I'll give a nod to #Perkuns #Latvian God of Thunder, but really I feel the pre-Indo-European #LietusMāte #RainMother doesn't need help from later interlopers 😉 [edit] Typical male gods feel the need to bluster and boast, the old rain goddesses just get on with it 😉 😆 Meanwhile the puddles are growing... #PuddleOfTheDay #pagan #water #rain #life #OldEurope #GoddessCulture

@plants Now nearly 4 hours since it started, rain is still coming- off and on, but mostly on, and often hard. Nice. Fire has been lit and house is toastifying and de-humidifying- so I took the opportunity to spray some houseplants...lol
