Day before 'the' Rain

Yesterday evening...wow! wind and dropping temps....cooled off throughout the evening and Today The Rain! Much needed as it has been a very dry fall winter and spring.  Winter 2011-2012 saw very little snow.  Never in my life time has it been +9C in January in Alberta.  The fall plants we placed in 2011 were not enveloped in the usual snow fall, needless to say they all suffered drastically.  Have had a couple of sprinkle rains in late April early May but now they say it will settle in for possibly three days.  It will be so helpful to address the fires that have been burning as of late.
