Dear Summer

The ducks in Boston. I would like to go back to Boston for more than 24hrs. Speaking of ducks, the ducks have only come to visit our backyard once this summer. I wonder where they are. It's funny how much of nuisance they can be when they nest in the backyard, but now since they have stayed away I realize how much I miss watching them. I love ducklings. Watching lady and gentleman ducks is quite a visual treat. (Not like that!) Summer has not quite arrived in Montreal; the weather has been crummy. I almost can't wait for 'summer' to be over so I can get back to school, I miss the college and the people.

Saturday night blues.

Dear Summer,

Hi it's me. Have you forgotten that you were suppose to come for a visit? I'm a little

miffed that you haven't made much of an effort. All of us here miss you horribly. It's not the same without warm nights and sunny days. I mean I guess you have a good reason? Global warming? Changing wind currents? Pollution?

your most loyal fan,

R.
