I made quite a fuss this past year over the length, intensity, and at times beauty, of our winter. Swe Jesus, Mary and Joseph it went on forevah! So the other day I decided to give summer equal time, and snapped some photos of the park in the full bloom and sunshine. The benches above, you may or may not recall, were photographed in the bleakest, deepest snow about six months ago...
We are experiencing an, er, unsettled summer. It seems like every other day - or more - is semi-cloudy, stormy, stormy-followed-by-sunshine-followed-by-rain, followed by sunshine sparkling on wet grass. Yesterday we received some major downpours, and though I was forced to dash through showers to make it to the nearest metro station, I did at least make it home on my bike that morning but minutes before the sky opened up.
Look, I just want this summer to go long...long into September, and maybe even October. Last winter changed me - I'm still trying to nudge my brain chemistry back to normal following near-record snowfall. I'm only human, and for the first time if this human had the means to travel and stay south from February to April, she would.
Winter, take your time this fall...no rush whatsoever.
