Summer is just around the corner.

After yesterday’s heater of a day it is rather cool at the moment. I’ve had to wear a sweater for school drop off, and even thought about stopping back at the house for pants when taking the dog for a walk. Brr. Chilly. Quite the change from yesterday where it was just about 20°C at little after 9:00 am. These weather patterns are very random. I hold little envy for modern day meteorologists and weathermen. How can you ever hope to predict anything with shear chaos going on out of doors lately. Wildfire smoke is altering temperatures, while ultimately raising them due to dumping excess carbon into the air. Fun times for all of us.

Summer begins in its official capacity at the tail end of next week. The heat will be upon us fast. And I’m sure the drought(s) will not be far behind. This spring has been a good growing season as I have several small trees that have shot up over the last six weeks. I don’t think they cared for the cold snaps and late frosts that we encountered, but they are visibly growing by the day right now. How they will weather the coming dry months is anybody’s guess. I’m looking towards added shade for the house, and blocking out the neighbours ability to look directly into our windows, or over look the back porch. I don’t walk around nude, but I’d like to not be able to have neighbours see directly into the house unobstructed. Let us keep a modicum of mystery between us.

I don’t know how many more climbing sessions we have this month, but I can go right up until the 29th if I so please. Then that will be a wrap until September at the earliest. Now I turn towards the driving range, swimming, biking, and use of my long board for exercise. Pushing the lawn mower is not as fun, but still can be physically demanding when the heat goes up, up, up outdoors.

I have work to get back to, so I best be about my business. Ciao Bella!
