Well, first day of "summer" and longest day of the year. It's a balmy 8C at 9:30am, so I am not rushing out to plug in the heater in my little green house. Hoping the sun will actually burn through so I don't have to light the wood stove, or turn up the electric heat.
Lots more moisture yesterday. It is unusual for BC Wildfire to rescind some fire restrictions at this time of year, but I would imagine that once the heat hits, it won't take long for things to dry out.
There is an Alberta businessman who grew up in Oliver - a hard working really nice guy. I've been watching his posts as wildfire has come ever so close to his home and business, helicopters have landed to refuel right next door, and photos of new fire starts have been very close.
Now mother nature has overcorrected. Yesterday's photo was a raging McLeod river, and this morning's post is house and plant surrounded by water. His partner has left with the dogs, the farm animals are on high ground, he stayed back, but is ready to escape either by loader or boat. Now had to leave with the small animals.
Sometimes it is good just to step back and reflect on what real problems are.
