Only rarely is my life in Vancouver swept up into vast mountain vistas and towering pine forests. But that's what gets all the press. Meanwhile, my view this summer has mostly been of the pages of a book. Or rather, of lots of books. Between working, taking a few credits of classes, doing the reading for those, and reading for my thesis proposal... I've been a busy bee.
Basically, the mountains I have seen the most are the mountains of books on my desk!
Hopefully soon real summer weather will arrive, and I will retire to the beach in the late afternoons of the long-light days after reading or working. But so far its been cooler than this time last year so it still feels like summer hasn't come yet...a disappointment since the nice part of the year is so short here already! But c'est la vie. In the meantime, I'll just read.
