Living in Calgary means every other blog could be about weather. The only consistent thing about Calgary's weather is that it is inconsistent.
It is news when Vancouver has +30 degrees (Celsius) heat for more than 2 days in a row. It is news when Toronto or Winnipeg have a cold wet summer. Calgary's weather is never news - or always news, depending how you look at it.
Today we have a rare 30 degree summer day. Beautiful! (Too hot, says my husband.) But we are so unused to this that an hour of biking wiped us out. We'll take a picnic to the river for dinner tonight.
July was our first month this year without snow. I haven't bothered to pack the winter clothing too far away.
But on one of our rare really summery days, I'm counting my blessings. The smell of the clover beside the pathways. The sight of petunia's in full bloom. Friendly northeast neighborhoods with a variety of ethnicity's. A handful of raspberries and strawberries each day from my tiny garden plot. Picnics by the river. And a wonderful husband with whom to share the blessings.
