For Whom The Bell Tolls

The Burrowing Owl Bell

Jake and Hanne enjoying Quality Time together...
Seventy-one years ago Ernest Hemingway's famous novel of that name was published, describing the brutality of civil war in Spain. Let's hope the brutality of present day civil wars in Libya and Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq, and other countries, will soon draw to a close. Visitors to the Burrowing Owl winery were wondering for whom the bell tolled yesterday as young Jake pulled the bell rope in the tower! You can see the owl on the bell. We had perfect weather for our explorations. Today it is to be 34 degrees and more of the same sunny weather. We are visiting Naramata and Kelowna on the last day for our visitors today.

I love the way you marry up totally unrelated happenings and work them so cunningly into your posts! Today's is no exception...you covered major world events, reminded Ernest Hemmingway's ardent fans of his well-known novel and shared some delightful family shots with us, cluding young Jake tolling the bell! Bet he loved that!

No, Michael...that is NOT a spelling mistake...simply a typographical error!

I must confess I have started checking some of these places out on Google - your blog is a great way to discover parts of the world I do not know. I just called in for a virtual pint at the Naramata Pub!
