Short Summer Musings

Summer in Northern British Columbia is short.  While we can have beautiful clear days any month of the year, the sun only holds strong heat from about mid-July to mid-August.


That being said, today's forecast is for the high 20C and we are hitting the lake with a boat, so this is going to be quick!


There's something oddly conflicting about good weather, when it comes to my writing.  It makes me want to be productive - to sit outside with my laptop and write, write, write!  But if I do that, I feel like I'm wasting gorgeous weather that should be spent in my garden or swimming at a lake. After all, there are plenty of winter days coming, when writing is warm and comfortable, unlike the outdoors!


So summer days are much like any other - a struggle to fit writing into an already busy life. But one thing is for sure...when I'm not writing, I feel worse than when I am writing, no matter what the weather!


Today's schedule then? Blog, lake, write.  I can do it!

My clematis...isn't it gorgeous?
