Life Moves Pretty Fast

January 1, 2018

It’s been said that, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” Well, that seems remarkably true at the moment as I come to the realization that I’ve already been in Peachland for over four weeks and my time here is rapidly drawing to an end. I’m still trying to figure out where the past four weeks went! On the upside, my time in BC isn’t yet drawing to an end.

: One of the snowman’s finest hours.

: Gravity begins its pull.

: Gravity and Mother Nature take their toll.

: Through it all, he still stands!

: In the polls of best province, I cast my vote.

: Chillin’ by the fire.

: Record snowfalls in the Okanagan

: Inside? Please??

: Can we go inside now, pleeeease?

: Keeping watch.

: Watching what I think is my favourite movie (definitely top 3) with Jake.

: The snow takes its toll on Jake, too!

Much of the past week has been consumed by shovelling snow. More snow than I’ve seen in a long time. That said, my time here has confirmed what I’ve known for a long time. I love BC. I always have. Even before I ever visited here, I knew. I knew when I lived out here for a year oh so many years ago. And I REALLY knew when that year ended and I left it behind. Now I’m not saying that leaving was a mistake – a lot of good things have happened since then – but there is no denying that I am drawn to this side of the country. I’m not sure what that means for the long term but for now I can only hope my next four weeks out here will be as enjoyable as the previous four … with maybe a BIT less snow.
