So, Is this summer?

"It's like living in a light bulb, with the leaves
Like filaments and the sky a shell of thin,
transparent glass
Enclosing the late heaven of a summer day, a
canopy
of incandescent blue above the dappled
sunlight golden
on the grass..."

From Sally's Hair by  John Koethe

   A LITTLE PIECE OF HEAVEN

Photos of Rhododendrons in Manning Park

This past weekend, we traveled to Manning Provincial Park.in the interior of British Columbia.  It is located between the towns of Princeton at the East and Hope at the West.  The following pictures are of the Rhododendron flats.  These plants grow naturally in the park.  There is a path, that winds its way for about a half  a Kilometer, through these plants natural habitat.  They usually start blooming in the third week of June.  It is certainly worth the drive to see these plants.
Manning Park is very beautiful.  It has many hiking trails, camping, a lodge and a lake.  It is a great place to bring your family for a week or a weekend. 
I have been there, many times, but this is the first time I have been there when the Rhododendrons were blooming.

LOOKING AFTER OURSELVES

"FIRST, I EAT HEALTHY; IT COMES FROM THE INSIDE OUT.  IF YOU EAT RIGHT, YOUR SKIN, HAIR, NAILS WILL LOOK GOOD.   THE SAME IF YOU HAVE NEGATIVE THOUGHTS - THEY CAN GIVE YOU A BAD LOOK TOO;  WE REFLECT WHAT WE EAT AND THINK.   BEING HAPPY AND DOING WHAT I LOVE REALLY REFLECTS."

"THE THING THAT I THINK IS THE MOST IMPORTANT IS TAKING MOMENTS TO EXPRESS IS YOUR APPRECIATION TO YOUR PARTNER.   A THANK YOU  OR A QUICK KISS CAN GO A LONG WAY TOWARD AFFIRMING YOUR RELATIONSHIP AND COMMITMENT TO EACH OTHER.  THAT'S NOT HARD TO DO EVEN WHEN YOU'RE JUGGLING INSANE CAREERS AND THREE KIDS."
                                                      -----Michael Ian Black-----

I came upon this quote...it is sooooo true...
But, it definitely goes both ways!!
How soon we can forget, what is truly important in our lives!
