Summer photos...

Where does the time go?

Here we are nearly at the end of July.

It's been a good time for us, lots of sunshine, some smoke, picnics,

friends visiting, trips being planned.

Happy weekend to our family and friends.

 

A week in pictures...

Summer sun and warmth are finally here.

It's going to be a very warm weekend,

high of 32.

Our picnic spot down at the beach is still flooded.

We will have to look for a new place

to have our picnics until the water recedes.

The flowers are really starting to fill in

and bloom vigorously.

 

Always fun..

Shopping with Frosso at Southlands Nursery.

Finding some beautiful plants to take back to

West Kelowna.

Crafting and playing Dominos with Claire.

Weekends come and go so quickly.!

 

Back home to a cold BC...

It really is a shock to my system.

The cold, seems to seep into my bones keeping me chilled.

Of course getting over bronchitis and a sore throat,

on that long flight from Bangkok

makes coming home a cosy spot to be.

The snow keeps falling and the roads to the coast have either been closed

or so much snow falling each day,

travel is not advised.

Thank goodness I still get to see Claire on Face time.

She just received her green belt in Karate.

She is one proud little 6 year old.

Here are a few of the photos I have taken since

we got back in Tuesday.

Tulips help brighten these overcast days.

 

 

Getting ready to price and pack up....

The biggest challenge for our booth last year

was keeping our display shelves.

Everyone wanted them.

The hunt is on this year for more ways to display all our

"vintage finds"

An incredible light...

I love this evening sky.

7:25 pm and the evening light is perfect.

I call this amazing color,

"wet cement."

I wish I could paint our walls this color.

Weekend pleasures...

We love the produce at

Paytner's Market.

Picked from their own farm, they are just up the road for us.

These are simply the best days of summer.

Cindy arrives today..

We have been counting down the sleeps.

Thinking of all the fun we

will have and the thrifted treasures we are

sure we will find.

The flowers are cut and in her room,

the quiche, salad, & wine are ready for dinner

tonight.

Cindy is bringing dessert.

What a lovely lovely weekend we will share.

Morning & Evening...

There is a

stillness to the early morning

and quietness as evening comes.

The best of each day.

Is it September already?

The weather is definatley changing here in the Okanagan,

at least

it feels like it this week.

Doing some baking.

The peaches are just wonderful, falling fresh off the tree

and into the cake.

Longer walks in the morning when

the temperature is just

perfect.

Crocheting a few shell necklaces

to send off to

Alexander in Austraila.
