Moment In The Sun: Summer 2008

---

Hello Friends,

Well here we are nearing the holiday season with unseasonable wet, summer weather. It's not very warm for our Green Christmas. Damn you Global Warming! It has been raining all week so I find myself missing both the sun and the snow simultaneously. Anyways, to get into a summery mood, I thought I'd share some of our favourite shots from the summer of 2008. Sorry no shots of the completed (finally) renos at 77 South. Where was the camera?

While you’re at it check out this video from a really HOT Aussie band, the Living End. It is called Raise the Alarm and it is on YouTube at:

And stay tuned for Life In The Gong, coming soon to a blog near you.

Hey Eady Clan! We are enjoying the minus 20's and possibly a minus 30 this morning. Finally the sun has emerged with this nice crispy weather. It has been rather cloudy lately with the minus 15's. Many layers and good toques! Hope you get some sunshine soon. What are your temps now? What kind of wildlife have you seen? Have a nice Christmas Holiday! T and D
