Today was a relatively easy day of delivering trailers in Osoyoos and Penticton. Except ... we lost Bo's tie-out in a campground in Penticton. On Wednesday when we go to Penticton we'll return to South Beach Gardens Campground and hopefully his tie-out will be there at site G-18.
In the evening we went to Princeton for River Road Theatre's second of three productions this summer ; Barefoot In The Park by Neil Simon. Play was good. On the way to Princeton we stopped at Bromley Rock Provincial Park to have a picnic dinner. Picnic was great. We like Bromley Rock !
Monday ; It rained for much of today, a rather odd occurrence for this area at this time of the year. Today Joanne received an unsolicited job offer from the owner of the two fruit stands where she worked for the past two summers. She turned down the offer. I'm disappointed, considering what a colossal failure Similkameen Day Tours seems destined to be.
Tuesday ; One of the main reasons why we selected lot 89 at Riverside RV Park Resort was because of the beautiful, tall Douglas Fir tree. Over the last two years, due to Tussock Moth damage, it slowly died. Today we had it removed < huge sigh >. I just want to cry !
Around supper time I went for my daily bicycle ride. On the road a few sites down from us I found ... a baby rattlesnake sunning itself on the warm asphalt ! I went home, got gloves, caught the snake, took a couple of pictures of it, showed it to the neighbour's three year old granddaughter, then took it across the highway and released it. The danger with baby rattlesnakes is that they haven't developed the maturity to know how to moderate the volume of venom they release when they strike. So ... when a baby rattlesnake bites, it releases all of its venom ! Very dangerous !
Friday ; Today we dug a very small Saskatoon bush ... more of a Saskatoon twig, actually ... out of the forest and transplanted it in the back of our yard against the rock wall. Wish us luck !
Saturday ; Today was a hot day, temperature reaching into the 90's. Our trailer delivery work covered a lot of miles today ; Keremeos to Penticton to Osoyoos to Okanagan Falls to Penticton to Summerland to Penticton to Keremeos ! And our final delivery of the day, at Wright's Beach in Penticton, was the most difficult positioning of a trailer we've had in two summers of doing this job. But ... we make a good team ! We attracted quite an audience, most convinced that I wouldn't be able to get the trailer into the site. HA ... take that !
