Smoke free weekend
A couple enjoy a Friday evening paddle, photo taken from inside. It looks like a pug riding the on the back of the paddle board.
Guess who nibbled on the cord to my desk light? Thank goodness Coin found this. Someone got a shock.
One of these two for certain did the nasty deed. It must have happened when we left them alone a few weeks ago.
Wrestlers extraordianire.
Ciela on the bottom, has quite the set of teeth. Look at those fangs.
Because Saturday was so nice Colin pulled out the canoe from under the house.
I would call Saturday the perfect evening. The lake is so low, our beach has so much vegetation on it but we are not allowed to remove it. I don’t mind as it adds to the natural ambiance.
Another beautiful day today.
Colin brought the canoe down to the beach this afternoon in the hopes of getting out on the lake now that the smoke has diminished. We just lucked out with a few days of no smoke but it is still out there as we have two huge fires still burning out of control. A few hours later I kept hearing a whimpering sound. It was Carlie telling me that her sister had gone down to the beach ( first time ever ) and that she herself did not know how to do stairs. They are not allowed to go down there but of course Miss Adventure Ciela, checked it out. Now we have to cordon off the beach.
Sadly this fire started late yesterday afternoon just above the Penticton airport. This is the view that some of our friends have. This fire is expanding quickly.
We are very aware of the devastation that Hurricane Ida has been heaping on Louisiana. However our hearts were with those on the Isla and Mazatlan that were dealing with Hurricane Nora, a category 1 that had the community on red alert and hit land this afternoon. Many communities further south were adversely affected by this hurricane, especially Puerto Vallarta. Too soon for damage reports from Mazatlan, however I do know that the Isla has no power.
All we can do is take each day as it comes and smile when the sun shines.

Happy to hear you have enjoyed several smoke free days but goodness the photo of the fire near Penticton is terrifying. Harsh natural disasters in USA, Canada and Mexico. Stay safe and stay well.
It certainly has been a difficult year with the fires as well as Covid.
I got all okay from our friend Rafael in Mazatlan..?
Good news for that end of Mazatlan. The Isla is flooded mess including a few homes but overall everyone is fine. Still no report on the RV park.
