enjoying the season...

It was a busy weekend...with harvest on the farm and all that goes with it.

  But the sun was shining...
it felt like summer...
and I even played a little tennis and rode a little bike.


And yesterday...
I took one final stroll of the year through our local show garden.
It's an ever-changing work of art...
a feast for the eyes!

Last night we hosted cousins (term used loosely) from Germany for dinner.
They are on a cross-Canada tour...
and skipped Whistler to come pay us a visit.
I'm hoping they won't regret missing out on Whistler!
Here's the funny part...they speak no English.
We...speak VERY poor German...
though we could understand them quite nicely.
We had a nice visit!

Today...it's back to work!

  3. That would be me too. .let them talk .. I'll listen. For me. .it seemed like when I went to my grandparents as a young child. I was doing a lot of listening and no much speaking was required in my huge group of cousins.
    It looks like it is beatufil at Minter.

  7. With a visit to Minter Gardens and a visit with you they had a good trade off. I'm sure , with your harvesting, you've been busy, but what a beautiful time of year to share with visiting relatives!

    I'm sure your German cousins had a wonderful time enjoying your hospitality. Mountains can wait, families cannot!
