I thought the rains had come for good but we are getting 3 glorious days of sun. What a lovely start to October! I am pulling my flowers bit by bit, while babying my hand, because I know the rain will be back.

There is just something about a sunny September day. The days are certainly getting shorter now. Enjoying this late afternoon.

I was busy gardening last week as I had carpal tunnel surgery on my hand yesterday. No gardening for a while now. Pulled some nearly finished flowers, but the bees weren’t happy with that. This begonia still amazes me. One plant that just keeps on going!

Here are the books I read this August. I liked them all, but “Into The Dark“ a little less. I enjoy the other series. If you haven’t read Dervla McTiernan, try her. 💫📚💙

Our little off grid cabin on the North Beach, right in the dunes. No electricity, rain water for washing dishes, bottled water for drinking, a little propane cookstove and a wood stove to keep us warm.

I don’t like to be political on here, but have been stewing over this all day. Canadians are very upset and feel bullied. This is not Trade, this is control. More Canadians will be boycotting US products and not travelling to the US. We support our prime minister.

Had a great weekend camping, perfect weather. Off grid, of course, so it is going to take a while for me to catch up.
Pooling clear, greenish water beneath a waterfall on a creek. There are rugged rocks on the sides.Looking down on the rapids from the viewpoint. Clear pooling water and rapids in a small, steep canyon.

The rain has finally stopped and my flowers have survived. Some in my pots were flattened a little, but here come the August gardens.

Well, someone cut the cables again and took out the cable vision, internet and phones for the whole day yesterday across the northwest. We really need a second line and need to stop these people. Meanwhile, some more great live music last night, Mercedes Brown and this is the Ezra Beaton Trio.

Riverboat Days started in Terrace today. After the parade, lots going on including Concerts in the Park all afternoon and evening. Terrace loves live music! And the rain held off.
A band is playing on the stage and three young girls are dancing in front.Some of the crowd at Concerts in the Park. There were tons of people and lots of food vendors.

Not much reading happened this month. It was a very busy month. Take a step back in time to get a vision on what went on before Slow Horses (excellent). I really like Louise Penny, but this one didn't quite do it for me. The plot was a little unbelievable for me. (Why?) #SlowHorses ⚡️📚💙
