ground hog daze

Happy belated Canada day and Happy 4th of July to all our internets! Hope you are all having a great start to the summer.

Here in rain forest land, we are still experiencing the rainy cool weather we have been for months. I sit “working” in the airstream this lovely rainy afternoon wearing a wolly shirt and fuzzy socks…. not my idea of summer!

Turns out that lovely mountain range that starts right here behind the no-tell-motel has 30% more rain than the rest of BC. Great. hurmph

Top row of the graphic is what the weather has been like for pretty much since we got here. Though it’s only showing a week in june, it may as well show the whole month of june and may.

But there’s a light at the end of the tunel…. bottom row, what’s coming up for us this week…. sunshine and HEAT. WHooooo hoooo keep your fingers crossed for us, we really REALLY need  some sunshine right about now…. we are getting grouchier and grouchier by the moment!

It’s been really busy at the motel, not leaving much room for blogging, breathing or relaxing of any kind, which is deffinatly adding to the grouch factor….

So today rather than whine (well don’t include the above few paragraphs as whining ok??).. i thought i’d focus on the positive.

There are two amazing souls living at the motel for a few weeks, and we’ve had some lovely evenings of actual company. They are settling in the area, and have now found an apartment nearby, so they’ve promised to entertain us with theme nights Fridays.

Upcoming theme…. Mexican night. Margaritas, fajitas, and fun…. if they turn out anything like our “paralyzer” and bonfire night thursday, we might just ungrouch a little!

I’ve been painting, which is wonderful to come back to after over a year away from it. Have created a couple of peices already. The below is one. It’s called “Hope”. Not sure it comes out in the shot of it, but it’s a bright, happy little spot of sunshine up on the wall in the bedroom, which we are both loving in our space.
