time capsule, goodbyes again, and smokey

1 Spending time with some of my favourite people has gone by way too fast but we managed to have lots of challenges, successes, activities, tears, laughter and new friendships.
2 It's never easy saying goodbye knowing it will be until February when we will see them again. They're generating ideas, making plans and looking to the future to create a new life right here. So exciting.
3 The smoke from the fires in the US has blown in and is creating chaos here too. It smells like wet campfire and sticks to the skin and clothing. Tula seems to have it the worst with a lot of sneezing, lethargy and no desire whatsoever to go outside.
3a You know the air quality is bad when our ER Docs advise O2 be kept in our offices in Kelowna just in case anyone having breathing complications

smoke free, breezy, and play it again sam

1 A day without smoke from fires means the fires nearby are not raging as they have for the past few days. The closest one is a few kilometers away and threatens many homes. 2500 people are evacuated and many  more are on alert. Let's hope the winds we are experiencing tonight don't make things worse. Here's hoping for rain without the lightning.
2 Ah, I love the feel of the cool breeze skimming over my head and down to my feet. Finally, it's cool enough that we can open doors and windows and let the a/c rest for a while.
3 I love wind chimes. Ours is softly serenading us.
