Just
a few days ago we left the snow on the ground in Central Alberta and
drove to the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia. The drive across the
mountains was not pleasant. When we left the town of Golden, there was
heavy rain, burst of hail, and at the summit of Rogers Pass some light
snow. It wasn’t until we turned south on Highway 97 that the clouds
began to clear.
A further two hours down the
road we came to the town of Peachland. (Don’t you just love that
name!). We got out of the vehicle to stretch our legs long the lake
front. We were already commenting on the green grass when we came to a
small tree covered in blossoms.
There is a
picture below with me standing in front of the tree. I thought that the
blossoms were a spectacular white but Lyle assured me that they had a
pinkish hue. I do have some trouble in accurately distinguishing
colours so I must take his word for what he sees.
Whatever their colour, the blossoms were a delightful sign that Spring is on the way.
