Three Days Of Rain
Looks like we will be getting some rain before the weekend, definitely needed but I would have preferred slightly higher temperatures than 13.

No way, bring on more of this! I love coolish rainy weather. Especially after the overly hot July we just suffered through.

My backyard was crunchy when I walked across it last night. We need rain badly.

It is always tough post-Stampede. We've been short players the past few weeks with people all disappearing for vacations.
Back on topic - the rain should help the field, it has been like concrete out in field and my cleats can't dig in. I hate slipping while wearing cleats.

maybe we should just rename summer to "July".
That 30 degrees was nice while it lasted. At least I think it's supposed to get back up there after this week, but after August, all bets are off.

I am looking forward to the greening of the countryside once again. Good timing for a big dump of rain.

Played yesterday in Nanton. Had a nice cool breeze all day. It was nice to play a round where you're not sweating profusely.

I've been taking care of my parents plants for the last few weeks, and I've done a pretty shatty job watering them... so maybe this rain will help revive them.

This is why I do not miss Calgary.
That and the fact it snowed for a few first days of school. It's still usually in the high 20's here Labour Day Weekend. Hell, my family golf tournament is always on Thanksgiving and I wear shorts.

heh, you basically nailed my plans to move out west. Vancouver/Seattle climate wise is perfect for me. Screw this +35 degree July, -5.2 billion December-March garbage!
I'm only half kidding. Think the Flames would move with me?
