May 21st ........sigh..........

If this was October or November, I would be happy about it. It is snowing heavily, everything is white, about 3cms so far and still coming down at 8:45pm. Perfect consistency for a base.

Creek Roaring

Hey kids - stay away from the creek by the lodge.

Colder night...........

It is minus2C this morning, and we had a coating of graupel/snow overnight.

Uprooted, not snapped...............

When the snow melted around this tree, I was surprised to see that it had been uprooted last winter when it took out the power line.

Cabin Checks

Nice visit with one couple, and a wave to another today as they came up to check their cabins. If yours is prone to a wet basement in the spring, now is as good a time as any to check on it. The ground is very wet.

Advance poll.....

I went to Rock Creek to vote today - Kettle is high, but I have seen it higher.

Snow is going fast...............

Considerable shrinking of the snowpack with the warm weather this week. 8:00pm Friday night , plus10c.

Similkameen River this afternoon.

Just fine....................

You asked, I went for a visit. Delphine's recovery is going very well. Yesterday she was cleared to use only one crutch, and she is doing lots of cycling on the stationary bike, hoping that the new carbon fibre bike can come out of the box this summer.

We talked about new boots for next season, and her parting comment was..........see you at the mountain this winter..........."with bells on."


Plant Sale

I have some seedlings in the cabin preparing for the Oliver Community Gardens annual plant sale. Stop by on May 25th - we'll be behind the Kiwanis Market in Oliver.

Webster Marmot Weekend

Elizabeth, John and Richard last weekend at Marmot - I think their ski gear is being put away for the season now.

Vancouver Marathon

Best Wishes to Lee running a half marathon in Vancouver today, and to Jenny running her first full marathon.

Jenny and friend Krista ran for "Team Fox" - Parkinson's research.

Congratulations Lee on achieving your goal of half marathon under 2 hours.
