It's been a frustrating fall. In September, we received over 6 inches of rain in a 24 hr period and that rainfall delayed the harvest because the fields were simply too wet to drive in. We finally got into the fields but only managed to work for four days before more rain dampened the crops. After a couple dustings of snow and cool weather, the harvest for 2016 was pretty much over for the part that I participate in.

On the positive side, Joel's laser eye surgery went well and he can toss his contact lenses and glasses. We merged East and West with a Skype visit with Amy in NYC.
We managed to escape Alberta on the 18th of October and stopped in Slocan for a visit with the grandsons. It's always a pleasure.
It's hard to explain the transformation we go through every year. We leave freezing conditions in Alberta for rain in BC and then endless summer in Arizona where it is currently 36 deg C (95 F). Hard to take.

Gorgeous photos! I love the pics you take of mom when you are traveling :)
