Mainly rain

We do love to make a sport of whining about the weather don’t we? It doesn’t matter if it’s cold or hot or wet or dry, it’s never exactly what we want.

This summer’s rain has shattered records and there has been a lot of complaining about how wet and cool it has been. Now, with the Ex on, there is no way to fool ourselves: The summer is almost over.

It has been an alright summer as far as I’m concerned. I don’t like oppressive heat and I am a shade-seeking person. But many trips on a motorcycle later, I have several strangely shaped tan spots that are former burn spots. Although I freakishly slather SPF 60 on myself, I forgot about the tops of my feet on the one day I wore Sketchers and the bottom of my neck! I challenge anyone to determine how I acheived these diamond shaped brown areas, without knowing my choice of footwear the day we toured the Cabot Trail on Cape Breton.

This is expected to be a warm week but a wet one as well. Still, there ought to be enough sunshine to make the sun-deprived among us feel a bit like they got some summertime in. Not enough, though, I’m sure. Just consider this payback for all of the stinking hot, humid summers people like ME had to suffer through! You’ll get your ideal season back next year, I’m sure.
