Let the sunshine in

No matter what they do, the gurus at Environment Canada can't seem to find the right mixture of elements to string together more than just a few hours of sunshine at a time this summer. With shades of last year's experience of the rainy season that never did seem to find the corresponding sun and warmth, this year has been shaping up to be much the same.

With the exception of British Columbia which is currently stifling from the heat and consequent fires, the rest of Canada seems to be in the midst of a season that is lost somewhere between late Spring and early Fall, with barely a hint at the sun and warmth that we've grown to expect during the months of June, July and August.

Even if the sun does manage to peek through the ever pervasive clouds, it doesn't last long, and we've been starving for the customary dosages of Vitamin E ... until yesterday.

Welcome to what some are calling 'day two of summer'. Today is one of those very rare days when the sun is at least shining, and the skies are not grey ... they're actually blue. Result: get outside, catch some rays (even though the temperature isn't all that warm), and do it fast before the rain comes again.
