Spring starts Tuesday – Lorraine pruned these Apricots 5 days ago, brought them into the house and put them in water. They have bloomed. A sure sign that Spring will start this week?

We were walking along the river, across from the ‘new’ oxbows when Lorraine spotted this rare ‘White Fronted Goose’ I was able to take this photo before it took off with a flock of Canada Geese. According to Dick Cannings, this goose is rare in the Okanagan.
