PUMPKINS ALL IN A ROW

Last night the call went out from Ethan

We're carving pumpkins!!!!

OK........ we'll be there

Five pumpkins in a row

Can you tell I have not carved a pumpkin before??

You should see my pumpkin today...........

She is starting to shrivel and is now graced with wrinkles

She's getting betting looking all the time!!!!

Mommy carved Batman for Garen

Papa carved a Vees emblem  hockey stick

and a puck

This is a first for me to see a hockey stick carved into a pumpkin!

Ah.............roasted pumpkin seeds

While driving through downtown Penticton

Friday morning

we came across this 100 dollar bill painted on the side of a building

We think the 'scene' on the bill is that of the Penticton countryside

We thought we would take a ride in the countryside

on the opposite side of Lake Okanagan

 

We travelled up this narrow dirt road as far as we could go

There was a sign stating it was native land and we could go no further

I haven't seen a milk pod in many years

They are so pretty

An interesting bush

We have no idea what is is????

A familiar flag

STATE OF ARIZONA

We stopped and talked to the lady who was out in her yard

She is a

SNOWBIRD

and will be leaving for Arizona in November

We thought this house had Arizona

written all over it

Wild horses roam the neighbouring area

Saw evidence of horse poop on lawns!!!!!

Many of the homes have their property fenced in with gates at the laneway

We are directly across the lake from the vineyard

A nice Halloween spider graces a tree

Check out this manicured hedge that

surrounds a home

The home is for sale

It has a fantastic view of the lake

Friday evening we went to Ron and Verna's home for dinner

This is Jack

It looks like he is thinking

Leave me alone

I just want to go to sleep

I don't need a camera in my face

Thank you very much

We went to the local market on Saturday morning

Picked up homemade jam and maple syrup

to put in our Canadian basket

The end of January is Breast Cancer Week at our park in Arizona

and there are many baskets filled with goodies from different states

and provinces

The baskets are auctioned off

Last year our Canadian basket brought in $240.00

Here is a carver of pumpkin faces

Every time we visit the house I have to take a photo of Lyndsay's flowering plant

It's a beauty

The evening sky was magnificent

It's

Hockey night in Osoyoos

First we stop off at the local A and W

When we entered the arena the local grocery store

were handing out goodie bags

that were filled with all sorts of interesting things

The store filled over 300 bags for the fans

At the end of the first period they had these boys

bobbing for apples

Little Red Riding Hood won for best Haloween costume

Sunday morning

Another picking day

The pickers!!!!!

Lots of fruit

When you drink wine think of us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe even toast the pickers

and the

Vintner

Will sign off now

nine o'clock tomorrow morning

we're be out in the vineyard one more time
