Happy Lammas!

Hi, catching up here.  I don't spend nearly as much time at the computer now.  Years ago, before I moved to this beautiful lakeside resort, I was in my "ivory tower: upstairs hours per night.  Now my life is more balanced and outdoorsy, especially in summer, tending to my veg & flower gardens, hanging at the lake etc.  We had floods here on the property in Spring but my place was high and dry, although I was under evacuation order with everyone due to water being turned off for a week.  So I left for a bit, came back to receding waters.  Now we have an extreme fire hazard in the region.  Today skies were filled with smoke.  I went to an awesome wedding last weekend at the Shuswap, an outdoor rustic event with 300 guests!  The air was clear, day was sunny and perfect, so much fun!

Yes, floods and fires of Biblical proportions.  Our trip to Ocho Rios in Spring was fabulous!  I love Jamaica.  Mom said it was her best vaycay so far.  If you want to see pics, look at former posts at my Twitter.

Now, Lammas-Tide.  A day to marry, a night of fires and feasting. I'm very close to all those traditions this year, attending a wedding 2 nights ago and wildfires all around.  God and angels protect us.
