How Has Your Summer Been So Far?

Can you believe that it's already mid-August  and autumn is just around the corner?

How has your weather been? 

Here in BC it's been VERY dry, even here on Vancouver Island, which is most unusual. 

The photos above are from my files. 

It definitely isn't looking green and lush right now.😩

There are forest fires all over the province, the worst in the Interior.

 A state of emergency for all of BC has been declared, as of this past week. 

Fortunately for us, the Island hasn't had any really bad fires so far but the tinder dry conditions are very scary. 

I cringe when I think about people still throwing cigarette butts around indiscriminately. I personally think public smoking should be banned when conditions are this bad. But fingers crossed that the rains come soon.

On the plus side, I 💖 Autumn so I won't be sad to greet the cooler temperatures soon, along with the beautiful colors and RAIN!!! I am actually craving a good storm.

     I will sign off for now with some of my seasonal/transitional photos and haiku poems (click photos to enlarge).

Speaking of haiku, my next creative project is going to be a haiku day planner, that I hope to have ready for sale on Amazon by early winter. I'll post about that when it's ready to go!

Wishing you, a wonderful week! 😊

An Early Autumn Update

Hello again and hope everyone had a great summer! 

I'm not back to blogging or reviewing much yet, still doing some travelling at this point and making some final decisions about our upcoming move.

Right now, enjoying beautiful Vancouver Island, pictured above. 

And yes, I am taking photos too but haven't had time to get them downloaded to my PC yet.The fall sure looks like it's going to be a lovely one, here on the Island. 

Joe and I (and Mr. Cheddar too!) are enjoying some much needed 'chill time' after all the hectic hustle and bustle with packing etc...over the past couple of months.

Look forward to getting back to blogging and visiting all my fav blogs again, as soon as things are a bit more settled.

 I've also recently been asked to join the new (soon to be launched) Amazon Canada Vine program, so I'm looking forward to sharing many new products from that opportunity too. I love Amazon and I'm thrilled to be asked to join this new Canadian program!

In the meantime, Wishing You a Happy Autumn and Happy Trails Too!!! 

PS: Check out this week's featured post (left top sidebar) if you are in need of some really comfy walking sandals. 

I'm wearing mine a LOT right now.  :-)
