A Marmot Afternoon

When we were out walking near the marmot colony a couple of days ago, we saw many, many of them, including some of this year’s young ones.

Some were sunning themselves on the warm rocks …

… while others were taking their turn at guard duty …

… and the young ones? They were just curiously exploring their world.

Happy Sunday.

Creek Time

I have been dealing with a bad case of flu for the last several days but yesterday had enough energy to take myself out for a short walk along Penticton creek, which isn’t far from where I live.

It was a beautifully warm, comfortable day and I was able to take little breaks to enjoy the scenery. It was great to get out and start feeling a bit more like myself again.

There are apparently a couple of particularly nasty flu viruses round and about right now, so make sure you follow your best precautions to try to avoid them. Both M and I have had every symptom in the book, from fevers to severe body aches to nausea, so this one is definitely no picnic.

Stay healthy.
