July began with a wonderful Canada Day hosting John & Inga, and ended with Sunfest Country Music Festival. The summer heat has meant more time at the lake and on the deck. Vecsey and her fur coat require plenty of dips in the refreshing water. I spent many afternoons lounging on my hammock with a book and a beverage. Deck time and sunshine also means it's grilling season and we've been enjoying our barbeques. We've picked lots of plums and blackberries, but are still waiting for the peaches to fully ripen. Unfortunately, the weather has also resulted in forest fires around the province, and twice they were close enough to cause us haze and smoke. The Mars water bomber was put back to work at Cowichan Lake, as were the helicopters. We were happy to spend time with friends, including tubing with Shaun & Debbie, and a nice lunch visit from Judy and her lovely daughters. Shaun even let me drive his new CanAm quad! Lisa and I hiked Mesachie Mountain and did some kayaking. Lisa continues to cycle longer distances, more often and I had the chance to play some basketball. This month we watched several movies and many episodes of "Suits", "Hannibal", "Archer", "Inside Amy Schumer", and "Ballers".
