The garden at a favourite restaurant, open again, permanently, I hope.
And, a lovely summer wine.
Happy Friday, happy weekend, everyone. 🙂

Beautiful photos. So nice to be able to go to a favorite restaurant again.
Yes, it certainly is! Such a lovely treat. This pandemic has taught many of us a lot about what we appreciate, I think.
Happy weekend Lynette. Looks like a smoky one for us. Allan
Do you have a fire nearby or are you getting smoke from BC? We have a large fire near Okanagan Falls (a large part of the town is on evacuation alert) just south of us. The smoke has been moving off at night, so the mornings are clear, but by mid-afternoon it’s quite smoky. The fires this year have been so, so bad.
There are a couple of fires West of us, but they say this is B.C. smoke. The winds are expected to shift, which means we will then get Sask smoke. Ahhhh, summer. Just praying for rain. Allan
Yes, rain is desperately needed!
The yucca and lavender are blooming in my yard too just now. All that is missing for me is the bottle of wine. That would make the day perfect.
I’m sorry to hear that the fires are so close. I know what it’s like to choke on smoke when the wildfires get bad.
Orofino is a local winery from the Similkameen Valley. This bottle was an orange muscat; a great summer sipper. Well worth trying.
The smoke has been clearing off at night; the breeze has been blowing it to the south. But during the afternoon it gets smoky. Not as bad as being in Okanagan Falls though, half of which is on evacuation alert, so I need to remember that it could be a lot worse.
Terrible times to go through, especially for those the path of the fires, although the smoke is bad enough to deal with. I think that bottle of wine should be helpful. Throats are probably raw from the smoke and need soothing.
Definitely! And some rain, too. 🙂
I can smell their gorgeous scent from here.
The scent was really lovely but not overpowering. So great.
So pretty, Lynette. I’m sure the scent was wonderful.
It really was so lovely and not overwhelming. 🙂
It’s always good to treat yourself and return to one of your favourite restaurants. Glad to hear they’ve survived the pandemic and are still in businesses.
Yes, it’s always such a lovely indulgence (I love to eat!). I was also glad to see that they had survived and were very busy, but the manager told us they were having issues hiring wait-staff; they had more demand than they could handle. Another pandemic fallout issue …
