I just feel colder looking at this. Just think - only 7 more months to Christmas! (this was only back in March)

Another pic of those glorious Willows in the garden at Silver Sage Winery

While I'm on the topic - they've fallen on harder times - the last 3 years, the frost has wiped out their Pinot grapes (hence, no Pinot Noir) So, for any of us locals, when you're out Penticton / Kelowna way, you should stop by their vinyard. The owner tells me they still have lots of yummy Merlot and other wines that you can try in their tasting room and take home with you. (at very reasonable prices)

I tried to record their weird song, but the wind did foil me.

Silver Sage Winery

.. some fond memories ... enjoyed a wine tasting at Silver Sage during a stay in Osoyoos a few years ago. Such a delightful host (owner), and fun tasting experience. Purchased a 'Sage' (sage-flavoured gewurtztraminer) and a 'Sunset' (a white wine blush). Received a bottle of 'The Pearle' (a port-style, fruit dessert wine) from a friend, as a gift a couple of years ago. A must stop winery in Oliver for some unique, fine wines.

There was a huge, majestic Heron in the lake on our rainy walk yesterday morning.

Don't usually see fire hydrants for sale.
