When you live in Canada, you live in 'winter-mode' for approximately 6 months of the year. For another 2, you live in 'flood-mode'. And for another 2, you live in 'smells like poop, with pretty colours'.
But, for a lovely 2 months, July and August, we live in a place where mosquitos and fruit flies multiply like Octomom. We live in a place where BBQs can last with one tank of propane ALL year, where our igloos and dogsleds are replaced with teepees and tractors. (only in Motown-- MoTown has a large population of native Indians, so powwows and teepees are quite honestly celebrated. It's very rich in native culture, which is cool.) Where snowplows are swapped for construction crews.
We ask our neighbours for their cow manure so we can spend hours growing a garden in rock-hard soil. We manage to burn our skin to a wonderful shade of 'fire engine'. We realize that water sometimes isn't in solid form! 
We spend a weekend like this, at my Gramma's cabin just a short distance away:
(and, check this photo out-- it's like my head turned around like Poltergeist!! Will and I had to look at it twice to see which way my knees were turned! We just laughed. I'm sure he said something smart-alec-y about the truth behind it, but whatever. Too funny)

The first thought with that pose was Jessica Rabbit.
(Not all of Canada has 6 months of winter, I know here it's 8 or 9!)
Oh Motown Motwon, why does make me want to sing a song? I dunno. So wait, do any of those months include summer???
