The Canada 2024 Day was observed on Monday at and about the band shell at central park. The Doug James band invited 3 hours of music ending at 3:00 p.m.. There were many kids that enjoyed the water and the playgrounds while some parents and grandparents took in the music and the displays including a Merritt Country Capital of Canada tent, face painting the mobile art van from the Arts Council. The park entrance was guarded by two fire trucks and a number of first responders welcomed people to the park in the parking lot. Symmetry seemed to be in vogue as people were often in red and maple leafs were abundant giving a sense of connection.
Have a great year

Present and looking on at us was the Moon on Friday night. In Merritt this picture was captured as it rose above Iron Mountain; the mountain is weather reference used to plant gardens in the spring. Gardens have suffered here as the weather has been cold and wet. If premonition is your bag the sky cleared of clouds on rising into this photo. However the Man in the moons face neither provided a smile nor a frown.
Good luck
The moon will swoon.
The beach will draw breath…
Then take the soul to borough.
Tomorrow in play.
Weather lore often includes observations related to the moon, such as the belief that a ring around the moon signifies an approaching storm.I’m Additionally, folklore suggests that the moon’s appearance can provide some indication of upcoming weather conditions. For instance, a clear view of the moon could indicate fair weather, while a halo around the moon may indicate the approach of a warm front and possibly rainy conditions. While these observations may carry some anecdotal truth, it’s essential to rely on more scientific and reliable meteorological forecasts for accurate weather predictions. As such, while the moon’s appearance could be an interesting aspect of weather lore, it should not be used as the sole basis for making important weather-related decisions.
The moon will usually appear full for some time after it is completely full, enjoy this special edition strawberry moon.
Summer 2024 will run from June 20th to September 22nd 2024.
The mid part of June 2024 seems right to tempt the remembrance of the events of November 14th in Merritt British Columbia when a cold front met a warm wet front coming from the west and the Pacific and dumped its load over the Mountains that owned the watershed of the Coldwater river and causing a flash flood that terrorized people and stock in their properties to the lower mainland.
Barry Sanford of Brookmere said I never saw anything like it ever before as he described the estimated 5 feet of snow that he observed being washed away in the sense of a moment on its way to the destruction of bridges and home life in Merritt and beyond. Barry was grateful for the help of a Christian relief agency that later removed about 9 inches of gravel deposited on his property.” they did a good service” Barry thanked his providence and fortune that spared him from a lot that could have happened.
The most defining word generated by the experience was ” resiliency” Government and individuals, companies “Thank you Trans Mountain” et al all for the years as they mounted as catalyst for for fire and flood, mood and brood; the people of British Columbia exceeded all that came with plaque and prose and ( touch wood ) have produced an experience that matters. Without boast they and Canada have had the opportunity to ” overcome” without drama or bred accusation.
