We've finally had some rain... those blue puddles signify sweet relief to a parched land. We've been needing it here in the prairies, but even more so up north in the forests where the fires have been relentless. The good news is they have had rain as well. Some of the evacuees have recently been able to return home and more will go in the next forty-eight hours. I am so happy for them. I can't imagine how difficult it has been. I think of those who have had to stay in the soccer centre with three hundred other people sleeping on cots just feet apart. It's hard enough for adults, but can you imagine if you had babies or small children? Very hard times.
