 My goodness - that last post actually worked! 

A whole year of Covid-19 governing our lives - how to summarize that in one little blog post?  I'm very happy to be here, in Comox on beautiful Vancouver Island, where winter just means the temperature stabilizes into single digits for the winter. Everything's still green - a bit of snow now and then - nothing drastic - and spring starts in early March with crocuses blooming!

I will take the time to post other photos and comments another day - now that I know I can actually access my blog again!

 After many months of not being able to post anything on my blog, all of a sudden, it seems that I can!  Just in case this is not really happening, I'll make this brief: my vaccination is booked for April 14th, 2021!

Two new people were on today's Friday walk - great to see new faces and hear new stories!  We walked beside the Puntledge River and through some streets of Courtenay today - beauty everywhere!  We started and ended at Sims Park.

This evening, I went to a Newcomers' bbq at Kye Bay (well, in these covid times, that means bring your own food, drink and lawn chair) - great to meet more new people! Men were allowed at this event, so I got to see some husbands, as well. Beautiful spot -  got there early and explored the beach a bit before everybody arrived - very cool heart-shaped tree trunks.

 Just a few more photos taken from the lookout on Dyke Rd., on the way to Courtenay.  Hard to resist stopping here!  Such a stunning view.

 My friend Brooke's birthday!  Thinking that this would be a typical warm, possibly sunny August day, Brooke had her birthday party in the Comox Marina Park.  Wouldn't you know, it rained cats and dogs and was windy and cold, to boot!  Oh well, that didn't stop us from having a good time!  Brooke brought cake and everyone else brought lawn chairs and drinks. I crocheted a sunflower for her.  Welcome to the next decade, Brooke!
