The wine grapes are reaching their maturity and will soon be ready for picking.


Many grapes populate this field and will soon become lovely bottles of summer memories.
Happy Saturday.

I love the cloud formations over this field of developing grape vines.

Happy Thursday.
A vineyard is comfortably protected by a rocky hill in the Okanagan Valley near Oliver.

Happy Wednesday.
Amid all the worries and terrors of this world, it’s important to remember that there are many beauties to love and protect. Here are just a few from my archive.




Happy Tuesday.

Shhh … sleeping grape vines.
The wine grapes are heavy and lush and ready for harvest.

Grapes have been cultivated and sold for thousands of years, a trade that started in Israel, Cyprus, Egypt, Iran and Turkey. At present, about 75 percent of the grapes grown worldwide are used to make wine. We certainly like our grape juice!
Happy Saturday. 🙂

The garden at a favourite restaurant, open again, permanently, I hope.

And, a lovely summer wine.

Happy Friday, happy weekend, everyone. 🙂
A table on a deck overlooking the lake, a great meal, a nice bottle of local wine.

A lovely relaxing time was had. 🙂
