Today I feel fat, but its no big deal because its Sunday and its summer in the sunny Okanagan Vally. Well not so sunny today. There are forest fires burning in the mountains near where I live filling the sky with smoke. The wind blows most of the smoke away from the city but you can smell it and the sky is hazy. The forest fires have affected some people allot because of evacuations and road closures, but not me I don't think about it much.
Yesterday my brother and I took our nephew fishing in Echo Lake near Lumby B.C.. We got skunked but it was fun anyhow. We saw allot of wild life - dear, ducks, loons, a snake, a heron, squirrels and the most amazing siting was thousands of baby frogs on the shore of the lake. The frogs were the size of nickels and the sand looked alive with the swarm of little frogs jumping around.
The rubbish industry is normally slow in august and this year it has been slow all summer but I will worry about all that on Monday. For now its been a great weekend and I think I am going to make myself a Mojito, get a little fatter and take a nap.
