We are currently in the midst of the rainy season, here in Calgary. We enjoy a day of sunny weather, followed by eight or so rainy days.
I fear we may be in the elbow of summer, actually. It has only ever come close to summer temperatures once this month, and I think that was because God left a cake in the oven too long that day. Otherwise, it has been mighty fine weather, if you have webbed feet.
Not that I’m complaining or anything. It’s not like we had hoped to sit out in the yard, or barbecue, or anything like that. We’re content to just sit at our kitchen table, and await the first snowfall of the upcoming winter season. As long as I get to mow the lawn every week, we don’t necessarily need to actually USE it…
I’ve even seen squirrels wearing rain slickers, and some dogs and cats in the neighbourhood have put aside their historic differences, to stage a rally against what they feel has been (and I quote) “a ruff summer so far”…
But me, I’m as happy as Jiminy Cricket. I don’t mind that I could still give Casper The Friendly Ghost a run for his money, in the pale department.
