Big Celebrations

I am a little slow in posting these, but Canada Day (July 1st) is marvelous here in the Kootenays. Everyone heads down to the park to listen to the music, sit on the beach, go swimming and participate in all kinds of festivities. This year was no exception. The activities started early and continued up until the fireworks display at the end of the day. I hope today is just as wonderful for all my American friends.

I'm glad you had a wonderful Canada day. Our Independence Day was wet. It dried out enough for some great fireworks.

How fun! I had a wonderful day yesterday! We went out for a long walk in the woods in some preserved land. It was all lush and lovely and a great break from the city. I barely mind the mosquito bites!

We're doomed, too bad about the rain. It was hot and sunny here. I'm actually hoping we'll get a bit of rain to cool things off.

Pandave, It's nice to get out into nature, isn't it? Although I really can't stand mosquitoes. I react quite badly to their bits. Lucky for me there are not a lot around here.

It was a gorgeous but TOO HOT at 100 degrees on the 4th

today it never got over 80. I prefer that.

ps. lovely celebration there.

Pamela, I agree, would rather have it be just a tad on the cool side, much more enjoyable.

Dawn, I love that so many people come out around here to enjoy the festivities. I think most people enjoyed themselves.
