Keremeos

Brent and I made a daytrip to Keremeos today. The morning was beautiful clear blue skies and a promise from the weather forecast of thunderstorms in the afternoon. Yeah right we think as we drive off. 

We stopped for coffee in Greenwood at the Deadwood Junction, our favorite place to stop. Had a great visit with friends from Ft. St. John who were in Nelson for a couple of days and returning to Kelowna to visit more family and then homeward bound. It was hard to fit time in when one is retired now 😉

Picked up produce that we didn’t have enough of. Sanderson Fruit Stand is our preferred stop. Could it be the discounts we received?!

10 dz corn - 4/1.00 (plus another big scoopful, in case we counted wrong )

50 lb field tomatoes - .50/lb ($25)

28 lb Walla Walla onions - $1.29/lb (down from 1.49)

50 lb cooking onions - $16 

40 lb apples - $8/20 lb (down from $10) then he was so happy to give us more apples for $8! I haven’t looked in the box yet to see what we got! ( just looked...35lbs!) yikes total 75 lb!

Peppers - $1.79/lb

Hot peppers, habaneros, yikes!

Slicing Cucumbers -.50 each

25 lb carrots -$25

Funny story about the onions....bag says Walla Walla...driving home we stop for gas and I’m thinking really? $16? So I jump out and look at the bag again...they’re FROM Walla Walla...😂😂😂 sheesh...

Another part to our day was to explore Jewel Lake to see if it was an accessible camping place for us. While it was a very beautiful place we think it might be better to go at a different time of year. Elevation at 1200 mtres and temp was 4°....

....and of course we arrive home and it’s pouring rain! I hate it when the weatherman is right ☔️
