Rain to reign.....

Ahhh, the ole Coquihalla connector, takes you straight (almost) to........

 

Sis and Unk's chickens!

We didn't have many windows to get out and explore, the rain seemed to have followed us from Burnaby. We did manage to climb up Giant's Head mountain in Summerland to get a better view of Prairie Valley.

Making the most of it, what a view!

Auntie's house is down there somewhere.......

.....one last admire.

Plenty of budding Bitteroots.

A few Old Man's Whiskers, too!

Saturday was our annual visit to the Penticton Farmer's Market........

....and to visit the family burial plot at the Penticton Cemetery. (quite a view looking north)

We did a bit of wine tasting as well. This posing by the cherry tree was at the Silk Scarf Winery in Summerland.

The grapes are budding......

They have grafted a cherry tree branch to this plum tree, very interesting.

Green Acres is the place to be! Actually it at one of our favourites, Summerland Sweets.

......and bonus! The Kettle Valley Steam Railway train just happened to come by for a visit.

......a 90 minute ride for only $29? I see a rail trip in my future.

Sis Judith and her husband Les, Taylor, Ritsue, sis Tam and I are all smiles. You know what they say, the family that wine tastes together....(this was at Black Sage Vineyards in Summerland)

One of my favourite views of Okanagan Lake, close to Sage Hills Organic vineyards, which, of course, we also went for a tasting.

Ritsue had one last chore to do before we started heading home. The hens were very appreciative of the worm snacks.

......one last look at Okanagan Lake.......

....north......

.....and south. See you next year.

The random, quick trip to the Summerland Ornamental Gardens, flower pic. (Aquilegia?)

The back home, ramen tastes so much better with a super tasty egg from Sis's chickens, pic.

Scooter, you're such a poser!

Putting the cart on the escalator for the first time, woohoo!

Enjoying the start of summer from the balcony. Not sure how much more time I will have to enjoy before the Good Doctor comes a calling.
