Apple Harvest... in our back yard!

Our apples are finally ready. I learned from the neighbor that when the seeds are brown, that's when they are ready to pick! They are MacIntosh apples, but we call them Kona's apples because she loves them so much. Having an apple tree is a treat and a curse... great to have your own fresh apples, but a huge problem if you don't have people to give them too... so far I have given to the neighbor, the ladies at work and am taking some to Abbotsford for the family. Unfortunately, we don't have a ladder yet to pick the ones higher up...

Weather...

I always knew the Okanagan had a lot of interesting weather, but I never really knew how different it was until living here. Someone called it a micro climate... depending on where you are, you can have totally different weather than someone else down the hill, across the lake or up the mountain. I love the days that are sunny, no clouds and then it just starts pouring rain for 10 minutes then disappears... there is thunder and lightning here that is unlike anything I have seen or heard... then, there are the rainbows... we get a lot of them, but I have never seen 2 at a time like this! 

More Truck...

We just love the new truck... its everything we hoped it would be. Here are a few more pictures now that I had a chance to take a few more!

"Our" new truck!

We bought a new truck! I could go over all the reasons for moving up from Brian's Ranger, but that's boring. We got a 2012 F150 that is automatic and I can drive it!! Yippie! Anyhow, Brian is pretty excited, its a really great truck, I am sure everyone will like it!
