Summerhill Winery

The deck at Summerhill, with a view of Lake Okanagan. The mountains are shrouded in a smokey mist from the forest fires.
Me indulging in a glass of my all time favorite wine: Ehrnfelser by Summerhill (all organic and aged in a pyramid).

Today I spent the morning working on my paper at Miranda’s office in the biology building at UBC. I loved it. So quiet. This afternoon I took my girls for a wonderful time at the beach. The water was perfectly warm and we tried out our new dingy. 
Peter and Mistaya are currently at the latest Harry Potter movie (it was sold out on their last attempt). Tabs and Pip are eating ice cream sundaes on my bed and watching a movie.
The major forest fire is now 50% contained which is a triumph considering the amount of lightening we had last night. It started many fires, including three in Gallagher’s Canyon. 
Perhaps the worst is behind us. The air was much cleaner today.
I will be so happy to hand in my lit review paper. It is twice as long as the prof suggested (40 vs 20)–whatever. My topic is deep.
Feeling a little melancholy– Come pick me up, I wish you would…

    The supper at Summerhill was fun. I really enjoyed it.
    Not any fires around here that I know of.
    The air seems pretty good. It’s really hot here though. Mybe I should take a dip in the river.
