peaches,gala apples, tomatoes, flowers from our garden
We are finally having a beautiful, sunny day with no smoke in the valley. The forest fires in the Cariboo have been so bad this month, that we've had very smoky days and a lot of air quality advisories.
Our garden and fruit trees have been doing super well with out much attention from us.
We've been driving back and forth to Penticton a lot this summer, trying to get my 85 yr old father settled in a care home and then an assisted living facility. So far this week things are going well in Penticton and we are at home getting ready to go on vacation for 3 weeks.
The Kamloops area has had enough moisture this summer to keep the grasslands a bit green and to keep us from having bad forest fires in the immediate area. The grass is starting to turn golden now at the end of Aug. and the river level is starting to drop.

Go to lifeloomslarge to see more colours of August from around the world.
Greys, blues, pinks, yellows... I could easily weave something in these colours... Beautiful mosaic of pictures from your garden, too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors in your part of the world - makes me miss home - I hope the fires have died down by now. T.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your August colors!
ReplyDeleteI'm just returning from 2 weeks away, and I can tell from my reaction to your photos that I haven't eaten enough fruit. Those pictures look mouth-wateringly delicious to me!
You live in such a gorgeous area.
Enjoy your vacation!!!

The fruit and garden shots are so luscious and then the dry golden grass is such a contrast.
