As indicated in yesterday’s post, I have happily arrived back in British Columbia and it looks very much like I won’t be returning to the NWT for any length of time before I retire in a few months from now. So, M and I have been enjoying something of a small celebration which is great because it’s coinciding with the long May weekend.
We have already taken a few long walks (without mosquitoes!) and have been enjoying the relatively smoke-free weather and lovely temperatures. There have also been regular rain showers which, apart from keeping the hills damp, are also helping to clean the air of smoke particles.
The famous Penticton market is open, people are swimming, the dog beaches are active and so many late spring flowers are blooming. I haven’t experienced the month of May in Penticton for a number of years now, so I am really enjoying this.
Greetings from the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia.

Happy Monday.
Great Slave Lake is melting, but we’re not there yet as a lot of ice still remains.
Today was rainy, chilly and blustery, but at least it wasn’t snow!
Happy Wednesday.
A mill pond-calmness on Okanagan Lake produced this beautifully reflective and meditative surface.
Spring can gift us with such tranquility and serenity in a single view.
Happy weekend.
It was a bit overcast and rainy.
But the old saying that April showers bring May flowers is probably accurate as growth seems to be chugging nicely along.
Happy Saturday.
Descending from the high mountain Coquihalla Connector Highway, a beautiful view of Okanagan Lake comes within sight.
The weather was sunny and clear and we could also see someone boating. A very big difference from the north.
Happy Wednesday.
M sent a picture of home taken yesterday on March 22.
Blue lake, blue sky, gorgeous weather and 15C (59F). The lake is a little low, but runoff from the nearby mountains will soon have that fixed.
Happy spring.
… summer!
Happy Sunday.
