Another month has gone by and once again I can't figure out where it went.... The past couple of weeks have been nothing but rain. We managed to get a few shrubs and plants into the ground before the rains started, so that gave them a good start, but now we need sunshine!!

It's been very slow at the parks with all the rain we've been getting, so we've had to pass the days with reading and computer 'stuff'. It's a good thing we both enjoy the computer 'stuff'....

This year Michel put up a lattice for me, as you can see here. Now my clamatis can grow, grow, grow!! All my plants are doing well, however they are all behind in their growth compared to other yards, and I don't know why. I see flowers everywhere, but mine are just taking their sweet loving time to bloom!

The creek was very high when we returned from Alberta this year, and we got home to discover the bottom 4 steps (down to the creek) that Michel had toiled to put in last year had been swept away and floated down the creek....With all this rain, the creek has risen again. Sunshine please!! 


The big disappointment this spring was to find that the paving stones that we laid last year (1100 of them) had crumbled over the winter. We did contact the company and their rep from Kelowna is going to be here today to take a look at them. There are at least 1/3 of them that need replacing. So we're putting out good vibes that the company will do something to compensate. We'll let you know.
