It’s spring in Winnipeg but you can hardly tell from the weather. The snow is gone but there is snow mold to contend with. It’s supposed to start raining this afternoon and end on Thursday and I am looking forward to it.
Spring rains are like a cleansing ritual – always evoking a slow warming of the soil and the promise of new life with the bursting forth of new leaves and blossoms.

Sometimes we should remind ourselves to look at life through the eyes of a child, and remember the pleasure we felt when we could tramp through a mud puddle or with me, jumping into the trenches to catch a long string of tadpoles or spending time watching a thunderstorm with my two favourite people – my sister Bena and my brother Karran – each with our favourite comfort food – a bowl of barley soup with chicken, potatoes and fluffy dumplings. That was life as a child. Here are 25 other reasons to love a rainy day.
