This was the scene around 8:00 on Tuesday afternoon just south of the village of Beatty, west of Melfort. The entire area has had a few showers every day for the past five days including today. Today it was mostly sunny and did not get around to the showering business until well after 5:00. But the good part was we go good about withour a jacket.

My heart leaps up when I behold
A rainbox in the sky:
So was it when my life began,
So is it now I am a man,
So Be it when I shall grow old
Or let me die!
The child is father of the man:
And I could wish my days to be

Though it looked pretty dreary in Tisdale for a second day in a row we all know we need the rain. Gardens, lawns and farm fields are really parched and through out the day we have had welcomed intermittant showers.
