Day 8 - 172 -- Summer Arrives

On this first day of summer, I made an appointment for vehicle spring check,  clarified and completed online document approval, did a few household chores, had two great phone visits, and walked out to the drug store to pick up a refill. Temperatures were hot today with hotter 'feel like' temps. It may be less cool overnight but we are to have cooler daytime highs and overnight lows beginning in another 36 hours or so. Knowing this helps to navigate the heat.  So, no cooking for supper, just reheated pizza from the take-out yesterday with a lovely green salad. 

For the first time in 84 days, we have had no new cases in the province. There are 3 in hospital, 1 in ICU and 79 active cases. These are numbers I wasn't sure we'd see for some time. National vaccination rates are rising daily with many provinces well into the second dose appointments. Provincially, our percentages are higher than the national figures. 

Overall, the day was a good one even though I didn't get to all I'd hoped for today. The sun shone brightly and the sky was clear to see the moon into the evening. These are great things for this solstice time of year. The song chosen deals with sunshine. I enjoy sun -- just not the searing heat that we will get over the next couple of months. Stay safe. Enjoy!
