Fall is coming
Our Virginia Creeper vine on the porch has already turned red and has lost many of its leaves!
Don’t get me wrong… the weather has been fantastic! It has been very warm for the last few days, with hardly any rain for a month. The lack of moisture is a concern, and we’ve been hauling tanks of water to recharge our well.
We had Gary’s brother and family here for almost a week; now they’ve been gone for a few days and I still miss them all terribly. Our three nieces are 7, 9 and 13, and they seemed to have a terrific time here. I’d write more about that, but I’m getting tired. Perhaps another evening, I’ll find some pictures for you.
Our skies are hazy because of smoke from forest fires hundreds of miles away in Washington. Very recently, the fires have crossed the border into British Columbia, but they are still far from us, although still threatening the homes of others.
Finally, I’ve found a little time to write to you. Thanks so much for your patience, and for checking my blog. I appreciate your friendship.

our virginia creepers are still green, but some trees start changing colors a bit, not because of cold frosty nights but more from drought. It has been a fantastic summer on the priaries here, but very very dry. You have such a full life, always interesting to read your blogs Ann.
I thought we heard on the news that there are also forrest fires burning in b.c.
Take care
