| We made it to the top of Mount Work! |
Judith's brother Graham has the best birthdays! We decided to do something really special today for him starting with preparing our "signature birthday breakfast" for the whole family including Lavazza cappuccinos, fresh fruit and smoked tomato salsa, homemade warm goat feta cheese and farm fresh eggs wrapped up in a fresh homemade tortilla, followed by a great hike and swim in the lake on the way home, just in time for strawberries and tea. Now, if only Graham was here to enjoy his PeJu birthday ;)

The mountain is covered with lots of rock and Arbutus trees. Judith especially loves the Arbutus trees and thinks she has found 4 distinct species: Arbutus olde mans beardicus, Arbutus normalis, Arbutus miniaturum, and Arbutus blondus.

Don't forget the specimen in Helliwell - Arbutus maximus grandiosicus! And the ones on our property: Arbutus nondeericus
