Summer is still in full, glorious swing in Montreal. In fact, it looks like a September Back-to-School heatwave coming this week. As beautiful as the weather is though, I'm having evil wishes for an early frost. This has been THE WORST year for my hay fever / rag week allergies. Horrid. I sound like a pack-a-day smoker. Can't. Wait. For. This. To. End.
