We're on our way home from camp meeting. It was a wonderful week, and we are now ready for the quiet of our new home. The beauty is incredible the further north we travel. There have been several little natural dugouts/ponds tucked in the trees with perfect reflections on their surfaces. So peaceful to catch a glimpse while passing by at 70 mph. Couple that with the prolific flowers, blue sky, white clouds, deep green spruce trees and the shimmery medium green poplar trees, and it's a sight you'll never get tired of seeing.
So far today we've seen the following flowers:
Fireweed, yarrow, cow parsnip, butter 'n' eggs, coreopsis, clover, indian paintbrush, and possibly thistle. There are also some incredibly beautiful yellow flowers I can't identify right now. The cattails have changed from green to brown in the time we've been gone, and the foxtails are shiny now instead of muted. It is amazing how things change in a short amount of time.
Somehow we managed to be ready to leave camp by 1:00 p.m. (including eating in the cafe!), even though Eric had camp cleanup! We were soooo happy, because we have to be in High Level tomorrow morning sometime to do a final walk through and closing on our new place. Tonight we plan to stay with Yves and Beverly in Jean Cote. It will be nice to have at least an evening to catch up on everything that has happened in the past month.
And on a final note: We saw a very strange thing on our way out of the "south" today. It was a green Lamborghini! What it was doing in Alberta with our bumpy, heaved, patched roads I'll never know. It was pretty cool, but definitely out of it's comfort zone! lol.
