Spring in Sicamous

We spent the Mothers Day weekend at the lake house in Sicamous just the three of us as the rest of the family was off touring in all parts of the world.  It was kind of nice having the place to ourselves before the busy summer starts.  It was definately spring out there as the grass was green and being cut for the second time and the plants and flowers were out.  It rained a bit on Saturday so we took a drive to Vernon and Kelowna to see the spring blossoms on the cherry trees.  I had never seen them in bloom before and Dion oftern talks about them from when he was growing up in Kelowna how beautiful they were.  I guess it was my Mothers Day gift to do what I wanted to do.  It looks like we were about a week to early as most of the orchards were just coming to blossom and most we apple tree (I think).  Here are a few pictures from the weekend!


Magnolia tree in Kelowna smelled unbelievable and was amazing to look at!!





slowly starting to look like someone might live here!

backyard nice and green


saw this handsome one on the way home.  He was stopping traffic but was too hungry to care


a little worried for him as we saw a train heading his way shortly after this!


Cierra secretly picking flowers for my Mothers Day gift!
