This photo, taken on September 29 in the village of Naramata, doesn’t show many signs of autumn.
But it definitely is a fall picture as you can tell from the yellow leaves at the sides of the road.
Here’s to a very slow autumn – it’s good for us.
Happy Friday. 🙂

The temperature dropped pretty low overnight. So, I turned on the heat this morning for the first time in months. Autumn for sure has arrived in southeast Pennsylvania.
We haven’t turned the heat on yet but some of the mornings have been coolish. Enjoy your autumn colours – must be coming soon!
In Jasper right now, the leaves have dropped significantly over the week we have been here. Heading back to B.C. today to extend our fall. Hope you are enjoying your home time Lynette. Thanks for sharing. Allan
Have fun with your extension – that’s always a great move! I head back north to Yellowknife on Sunday but will return to the Okanagan at the end of October.
I used to live in Naramata on Languedoc Road. So pretty there.
I love Naramata. My M and I have done lots of walking there and there’s now a fabulous restaurant at the Naramata Inn (we had dinner there a couple of nights ago). So beautiful and laid-back. The little bridge in the photo must be very familiar to you. Cheers.
We had a fine dinner at the Country Squire in Naramata back in about ’75. OMG that is a long time ago. In those days there was also a tea house on the main road from Naramata to Penticton. They made excellent cheesecakes and teas.
The Country Squire is gone (to my knowledge) but there are lots of good places that have continued to survive the pandemic. You can definitely eat well there (and then walk it off while enjoying the most beautiful scenery).
I’m not surprised it’s gone after all these years, but what a meal we had there. It was probably one of the best restaurants in BC at the time.
The Naramata Inn is now making wonderful meals. We felt that the dinner we had there on Wednesday was one of the best we’ve ever had. Like the one from the Country Squire that you still remember, I think we will still be talking about this one years from now!
Good to know there is still a fine place to eat out.
The horse chestnuts are dropping conkers and leaves are getting a yellow edge. I’d say we’re edging into autumn here. There’s a different feel to the land, more edgy and serious.
There’s definitely some change that occurs, even when it’s still warm out and the foliage hasn’t yet shown any sign. I agree, there’s just a different feel to the land. Here in Penticton (I am currently taking a short break from the north, although I am returning tomorrow), the hazelnut and walnut trees are loaded. The local newspaper posted pictures taken by someone who saw a bear high up in the walnut tree in her yard, contentedly crunching away. He later climbed down and ambled away.
Autumn is coming slowly to New England – there are some splashes of color, but many leaves are just turning brown and falling, apparently due to some virus with all the rain and damp.
Wow. A virus? I hope your trees are going to be okay. We had a drought, you had too much rain. The summer weather was definitely a challenge.
I believe it only affects the leaves – and they’ve done their job by now!
That’s good to hear!
Fingers crossed it’s a slow autumn. Yesterday it got up to a high of 25C here (and felt like 29C with the humidity). If it wasn’t for the leaves changing colour, I would have thought it was still summer.
I watched some of the Blue Jays game on tv yesterday and saw people wearing shorts and sandals as if it was a summertime game. Maybe that’s a good sign for a nice slow slide!
