because we’re magic, i tell you! magic!
We made all the snow disappear!
Overnight!
With nary a wave of our hand or a twinkling wand, we’re back to being a sodden, gray, moldy paradise.
This morning, my walk to work felt like whitewater rafting.
Without the raft.
Now I’m sitting at my desk with bare feet and rolled-up pants, wishing that I was shivering but NO, IT’S ALREADY TOO WARM FOR THAT.
Honestly, I know that everyone who comes to Vancouver is like AAAAH! VANCOUVER! I LOVE IT! IT’S PERFECT! LOOK AT YOUR MOUNTAINS! OMG, TREES! OCEEEEAAAAANNNN!
I know we’re popular for our natural beauty. Every time Eric comes from San Diego, he takes 14,000 pictures, gasps at Douglas Firs, and claps his hands like a little girl on the drive to Whistler. I have seen firsthand what our environs do for you people who are Not From Here.
And I know that the rain is the reason we look so lush all the time.
I also know that there’s a decent possibility I will step on my lawn one of these days and just SINK INTO THE SODDEN EARTH NEVER TO BE FOUND AGAIN.
Come back, Mr. Sun.

I’m sure you sent it to Eastern Ontario. We’ve got 30 cm on the ground and more forecast for later this week.
Bring it on.

We had TWO FEET! But then your weather came in, and now it’s all melty and yucky and gross.

I know, I was loving on the snow, even though it was slidy and traumatic for everyone but you and I. But then, is there anything better than falling asleep with the window open to the pelting rain? And knowing that the morning will bring mist, fresh air, and year-round ferns? No. No, there is not, I don’t think.

Yup…still snowing. It’s awesome. “But it’s a dry cold.”
