One of the people we met while hiking Mt. Zhouhalem was kind enough to agree to show us around her local trails in Ladysmith. The three of us hiked a small portion of the Holland Creek Trail, the Heart Lake Trail, and the Stocking Lake Loop. It was a scorcher, so a swim in Heart Lake was well deserved. Thanks again, Shelley! :) |
August was just peachy! We've been enjoying our fresh peaches with ice-cream and cereal. Once again, our neighbour is canning most of them in exchange for half of the peaches; we think this is a great deal. < We didn't see as much of our friends this month, but did enjoy visiting when possible (and eating Shaun's delicious cooking). |
We made no progress with repairs or renovations to any properties all month as no one was available nor willing to do any work. Unfortunately, my mother spent the end of the month in the hospital as her health continues to decline. This is obviously difficult on my dad and is weighing heavily on my mind. Fittingly, the hot sunshine has succumb to rain as August yields to September. |
