Yesterday, June 14th, was World Wide Knit in Public Day, and I drove about an hour away to Charlottetown to meet 4 other members of Ravelry:

This is the view that suddenly appeared yesterday, after the rain switched to snow. The snow fell like it was January for hours, continuing overnight.
This morning, it was a blanket of snow. It was like looking at a postcard of a beautiful Christmas scene, set in a quiet, rural neighbourhood with the pine trees frosted [...]

I know, 24c isn’t really that bad. It’s supposed to go up to 29c, but even that is nothing compared to temperatures in the southern American states. However, since it’s only hot like this about 3 months out of the year here, most people in my province, including me, do not have air conditioned homes. [...]
