It’s a beautiful and colorful event that signifies the coming of spring and the reunion of family.

We think very highly of the Chinese and British Columbia

The group provided the dangerous labor of using nitroglycerine in building the CPR and the CNR and that brought British Columbia into confederation. They adjusted well to the immigrant status and complied to some legislations that limited them to restaurants laundries and other service industries. However we cal the dry good store in Merritt that was constructed in the 1920s and run by local Chinese for many many decades. The building at the corner of Hope Street and canford avenue didn’t survive the aftermath of the November 14th 2021 flood in Merritt BC.

Thanks to Brenda Wong, for years of exemplary service has she managed the Canada Cafe in the downtown of Merritt and provided a richness to the culture and an inclusion to this little city.

HAIR CUT

Needed a crop on Friday so I stopped at the Rocking River Barber Shop on Voght and got a nice haircut. Paid $ 27.00 and I gave 15 percent tip. Felt good after and enjoyed the tone and style of the cowboy artisan shop.

Wild horses

Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com

Recently we asked a keeper of a bed and breakfast to west of us if they are still about and this unconfirmed source said that he understood that Highland valley Copper fed them with hay about 4 years ago .That was the last he heard and has not seen them since. however he still believes that he three groups are there.

When I viewed them decades ago they looked like regular horses except that their manes were very long and the hair on the tails touched the ground.

There are no wild horses indigenous to North America as they came from Europe with Cortez centuries ago . Horses in the valley are descendants of  horses that were either let go or ran off. They are truly wild though as like an elephant and his stake they would need to be broken to be of use in riding or work.

Wild Horses and Highland Valley Copper

The Nicola Valley is home to 3 groups of wild horses. About four decades ago, a bunch from Canford, an old sawmill and town site about 9 miles to the west on highway 8, was featured in a magazine article in The Star Weekly. These horses were also seen on Promontory mountain just to the west of Merritt.

A keeper of a bed and breakfast to the west mentioned that Highland Valley Copper fed the wild horses with hay about 4 years ago, but hasn’t seen them since. Despite this, he believes that the three groups are still present in the area.

The wild horses in the valley resemble regular horses, but with very long manes and tails that touch the ground. It’s interesting to note that there are no wild horses indigenous to North America; they are descendants of horses that were either released or escaped, and are considered truly wild.

The relationship between the wild horses and Highland Valley Copper seems to be one of the factors influencing their presence in the area.

Snow how

Drift don’t rift…

When dealing with accumulations of snow, it’s important to clear pathways and areas to ensure safety and mobility. Here are some common methods for managing snow accumulations:

  1. Shoveling: Use a snow shovel to manually remove snow from walkways, driveways, and other areas.
  2. Snow Blower: Consider using a snow blower for larger accumulations or heavy, wet snow.
  3. De-Icing: Apply ice melt or salt to prevent slippery conditions on walkways.
  4. Roof Raking: If snow accumulates on your roof, consider using a roof rake to prevent ice dams and roof damage.
  5. Snow Storage: When clearing snow, consider where to pile it so it doesn’t obstruct visibility or access.

Remember to prioritize safety when clearing snow, and consider enlisting help for larger accumulations or difficult conditions.Ai

Thoughts on a Happy Watermelon

As I gaze upon the vibrant green and cheerful stripes of a watermelon, I can’t help but be reminded of the simple joy that nature provides. This humble fruit, with its refreshing and juicy flesh, seems to radiate a sense of contentment and satisfaction. It’s as if each succulent bite is a celebration of life’s sweetness, reminding us to relish the simple pleasures and embrace the moment.

In a world filled with complexity and challenges, the watermelon stands as a symbol of uncomplicated happiness. Its presence alone can brighten a gathering and bring smiles to faces. Whether enjoyed in a refreshing summer salad, blended into a hydrating drink, or simply savored on its own, the watermelon embodies the essence of summer bliss.

So, as I contemplate the delightful watermelon before me, I’m reminded to embrace life’s simple pleasures, to find happiness in the little things, and to savor the sweetness of each moment.Ai

Its always been you 💓
