The Weather

Trying to see everyone and go everywhere can be difficult to arrange with summer’s easy schedule. And of course, everything is dependent on the weather.

Travis is putting in a bridge, but the bush is dry and if there is no rain soon he may get closed down. It has been really windy which dries everything out. If he is closed down, he will be able to leave early and may be able to head down south with me.

Steph tries to make plans with that in mind. She figures he’ll work the weekend though, and her parents are thinking of heading to Prince George, depending on the weather, to see a grand parent. She wants to take Abby and go with them.

“If we wake up in the morning and it is raining we will head out. If not, we’ll stay here and get some work done” her father tells us.

I suggest they check the weather channel. He looks at me oddly… not a good idea apparently.

Debbie really wants a visit. She will definitely be home when I am in the south country: unless, of course, the weather is really nice and she decides to take a road trip on her Harley.

And it really doesn’t feel like summer. Driving through B.C. and into Alberta, there was snow on the mountaintops and, in places, spilling down beside the road. Today if we reach the forecasted high of 17 we will be happy.

On July 1^st I was with my daughter-in-law, her mom and my grand daughter, in a little park close to Beaver Lodge. We were enjoying the Canada Day Celebrations, listening to live music and eating ice cream, in long pants and jackets.

As the fire hazard rises in the north, there are flood warnings in southern Alberta. I hear that the Medicine Hat Canada Day celebrations went ahead in spite of most of the town being under water. There is a tornado watch in southern Saskatchewan.

I can see the sun outside, but I hear thunder.

Just another Canadian Summer. Yes, summer.

This is why I live in Australia!
