Between sudden ghastly downpours and roaring thunder, this entire summer has pretty much been non-existent. August is usually a warm month here in Calgary. The one month where we get to enjoy what resembles summer but this year, has not been the case. Long weeks of rain, below average temperature, with a few scattered hat days. I miss the heat. There was only one day this year that we actually hit a temperature of over 30 degrees and that was only a week or so ago. The rest has been rainy, cloudy, thundery. Just plain miserable.
One thing I always loved about Calgary, regardless of the tendancy for temperatures to drop to unnatural temperatures well below zero, is the wide open skies, brilliant and blue. Summer is supposed to be filled with these but now I find myself feeling claustrophobic, like the clouds are going to consume me. Where are my sunny skies? The feeling of freedom. It looks as though I have to wait until winter. For -25 and lower before the skies will open up.
Is there a place in the world where the temperature is a steady 20-25 degrees? Because I really want to go there and live for the rest of my life.
On the bright side, when the weather is miserable, I have an excuse to stay inside and write.
Oh and to the latest follower that left me...I will miss you. So long. Adios. Au Revoir.
Here's to another rainy day!
Where I live, it's daily 30+ and sunny. I can't wait for rain!

I would gladly bottle up some of ours and ship it off to you. And in exchange you can send me some sun. Lots and lots of sun. :(
