River Trail



We have been going for walks with our new friends Kathrin and Amelie. They are from Germany. This picture is from the bridge over the kaslo river. It's a walking bridge and it's so nicely made. I wish I would've taken a picture of it from one end to the other.. maybe on Friday; we're going to go on another walk, all the way around on the trail this time. It should take us a few hours. It feels so good to go out of the house and get back into nature. I have been wanting to do this for a long time, but I always found excuses not to. Which are, of course, some pretty good excuses like that there are bears *everywhere* here. It feels safe to walk with a group, though. I always told myself that I would go for walks all the time once I got a dog. But that's a long way off. Anyways, we are enjoying going for walks. I even got a cool book on local hikes, and Kathrin and I are going to try some of them out.

First Day of Kindergarten!

At last school has begun. The teacher was doing home visits last week, which was so nice for all of us. So I have to update my blog with such big news, and pictures too.
Here's my beautiful girl before entering the threshold...

The harvest is coming in now. I've canned batches of jam and peaches. I really want to get some cucumbers to make pickles, but have enough on my plate for the moment. My Oldest Daughter (whom I'll call Sunshine) is starting kindergarten soon. The teacher is coming for a home visit on thursday. It's so old fashioned that she does that still. I love it! I love this town!

This picture is priceless. I want to spread it around the internet a bit, if I can. Hopefully some people will stop mutilating their son's genitals one
day.
