la pluie



This was the view in Vancouver today. It does not show the downed trees and hydro wires, nor does it show the collapsed buildings.

It was an horrendous day. Not fit for man nor beast, yet J braved it this morning with six dogs, and I braved it this afternoon with 7 dogs. J got the worst of it, as it was pouring swimming pools of water, and the winds were very high. I had it better with intermittent downpours and lashing winds to 90km/h.

Was glad to get home after all that. It's nice to have a roof over one's head on a day like today.

When I saw the title of this post it reminded me of a song we sang in high school choir called "Hiver, vous n'est q'un villain". It was a song about how cruel winter snow and rain can be. Now that's going to be stuck in my head. :)
