We took a walk in our favourite hiking country yesterday but it rained. For Penticton that is unusual. Normally it sprinkles. But we were still able to see and hear some bluebirds and meadowlarks around White Lake in the Biological Reserve. My raincoat got really wet for the first time this year. The frost had broken up parts of the asphalt highway to get there, so driving was slow. We passed Twin Lakes on the way home, certainly no golf there yet. Today we treated ourselves to breakfast at The Hooded Merganser, and saw a bit more Spring in the flower pot outside the front door...
The painting just arrived by Royal Mail. It was painted by my best school friend on Boxing Day last year. He and his wife were visiting their daughter Stella in Easton-on-the-Hill U.K. Enjoy!
PS We hope you got your new i Pad 2 yesterday without too much trouble....

Easton on the Hill is less than 60 miles from me, but I have never been there. Lovely painting though.
What a lovely, varied post. First, a view across the frozen golf green, then that gorgeous Spring floral display and last, but not least, your friend Tim's lovely painting! And, hearing you've been friends since school days...that's quite an achievement! I don't have contact with anyone from school or university...apart from my husband, who I met while we were students and married after graduation.
