Memo: To Summer
Hello! It's your dearest devotee, Zz, up here in North-western Ontario!
I just thought I would drop you a line and just offer some advice. The whole spring-thing-coming-early was really nice. Many of the animals, insects, and plants at the Spirit Fire Park are a bit confused; but I quite enjoyed the early jump at maintenance! Our Tiger-lilies have bloomed and already are dying off. (Ergo the norm - July 10th - 15th) We have two batches of squirrels, due to the long spring, and most are getting tame enough to hand feed....
....I've also considered, that up until now though, they have not had any food, and taking a peanut directly from some BIG ugly bald guy like me, is a small sacrifice to a free meal! You see, summer; up until this last week, your presence has been...
....well; let's face it summer, I had almost given up hope on you!
I guess I'm a little bitter from last year, still. You did the same thing; beautiful spring, that came a tad early (although not as early as this year)then come June, WhAmMo!! Crap weather! For THREE LONG RAIN-FILLED SOGGY MONTHS! AAARRRGGHHH!!!!
Sorry. I had projects, and events that were thoroughly soaked from either the lack of your heat and warmth, or a dismal dreary display of precipitation, that almost lends substance to the name, "Rainy River District"
SIDE NOTE: IF we change the name our beloved district in Northwestern Ontario to Sunset Country, or The-most-gorgeous-sunlite-valley-in-Canada, would you take notice and make the appropriate arrangements?!?
Anyway, I was nearly convinced that you were going to follow the exact same pattern this year, due to the consistant (insert bad word here) terrible weather we have been receiving. I almost had to cancel one paintball tournament this year. I'm still a tad upset about the three I canceled last year!! Because of you! Your reluctance to chase away the rain has cast a pall of gloominess on the hearts and souls of those of us that love to frolic in your warmth and light!
Then! You suddenly decided to give us the most gorgeous CANADA DAY in YEARS! WOOT!! Where did that come from?! Where you just "saving it up" for a grand entrance, or something?
Anyway, I just wrote this to let you know that I suddenly have faith in you! I'm confident, you understand the importance of long hot summer days, without clouds looming in the distance!
Thank you for that! Keep up the good work!
Sincerely;
Zzorhn
