Aaahhh summer. As if on cue (it is the May long weekend, which in my world signifies the beginning of long hot days) summer seems to have arrived. After days, weeks, months of rain and grey, dreary days, the sun came out, sweaters came off and it is as if it has never rained a day. Suddenly it feels like I'm on vacation...sun + warm weather + beach in my backyard = vacation. And I can only hope that we have now put the past year of miserable weather behind us and I can spend the next four months living like I'm on permanent vacation...aaah patios and cold drinks, bbq's (okay, I will admit, I am enjoying our big bbq and my patio), and of course, the beach.
There is something about summer in the city that gives me a hazy sense of carefree-ness, like I really am on some vacation. Maybe it's suddenly being surrounded by all the people that are actually on vacation (can you believe people pay to spend time here while I just get to live it?!!). Maybe it's the change in energy. Maybe it's the notion that being close to the water somehow equates with vacation. Maybe it's just the fact that I can walk out my door and in less than a minute be soaking up the rays. Whatever the case, I will take the all the rain in the world for even just one day like today. Because when the sun shines, you really do forget it ever rained. It's like my brain. When I'm depressed the world is all dark and misery, but just one high day and all those miserable thoughts are all but forgotten. Interesting. Perhaps I'll ponder this more tomorrow while I'm kicked back on the beach. Or not. I will likely just be kicked back on the beach patting myself on the back for choosing to live in such a beautiful city! Oh ya.

And then there was one...Ange keeps writing about anything and everything. It all seems to be an adventure of some kind!
About Me
- Ange
- Strong, independent, compassionate, most definitely crazy, I enjoy making other people enjoy something I've written. It's not always too terribly exciting, but there always seems to be something to comment on (when i can keep myself focussed on it!). I have a dream and it is a book with my name as author. Until then, I shall continue to write about life's adventures big and small. And don't worry, they will still include Dave some of the time.

ahhh yes, with summer comes the warm weather, blue sky's, sunglasses, suntan lotion and the feeling life realy is good. Walking the beach where the smell of coconut oil is prevailent. If only we had a beach here :( We have the blue skies, definetly the sun, today is suppose to be a high of 30, but we are missing the water. Its so dry here, even after all the snow,they are experiencing forest fires. But i agree with you, summer is on its way, its the best time of the year, and after a dark winter, life realy is good. Now, about that BBQ...
