Watching news and the Weather Network, I see images of rain and water that has gone beyond puddles into ponds. The wet weather has created damage to homes, roads and fields. The amount of water lying on the prairies seems unbelievable -- places that generally see an inch in a month have dealt with many times that norm.
On a slight upside -- the land is resplendent -- green and lush. Granted planted crops may not be growing well with seed washed away or rotted before sprouting. Even with the copious amount of moisture from the spring thaw, the Maritimes had an open fire ban in place due to high forest fire risk for a couple of weeks. Recent rain events measured in inches have alleviated this concern. But, plants -- and weeds -- are growing well. My ornamental grass is taller than I remember it being for years. Gorgeous! So -- even with the destructive nature of water, some beauty has resulted.
Today's song deals with water and the colour green. Enjoy!
