M and I recently spent the day checking out the Okanagan Valley’s spring progress.

We had beautiful weather; windless, sunny and 16 C (61 F).

We sat outside at Skaha Lake – it’s the smaller of the two lakes between which sits our city – to enjoy lunch at a favourite restaurant. It was warm enough that I had to move into the shade! The sun had a bit of power happening, As we ate, we saw a bald eagle swoop down and grab some lunch from the lake, too.

The weeping willows are all showing the light green of new growth.

We headed out into farming country where the wine grape vines are greening, the orchards are blooming and the farmers are very, very busy.

It was lovely not only to see spring but to feel it, too. 🍃
