Saving Summer

Summer. It's the best season of the year up here in the cold north of Canada. I got up one morning and winter was gone, spring had passed and it was summer. I was off work. I was free. But I was forced to stay indoors because it was so chilly. I had turned the fireplace pilot off. What was I to do???

I went to the Okanagan where it was hot. Warm nights and sweltering days alongside the lake on the beach or in the lake. Staying cool was only done through the ongoing drip from a Miller Chill Lime. Refreshing.

Upon return to Victoria, finally summer revealed itself on the West Coast. It is now warm just as I return to the 10 hour days of my workplace. The school. The land of never ending.

How will I escape at a reasonable enough time to get outside every day in the sunshine to walk or hike? I must make it happen. Savour summer's last days.

Help me save summer.
