had a much better sleep and got up just after 7… we packed our bags, tidied the house and headed off…

arrived in Coombs and saw some goats on the roof… had a lovely lunch of crab linguini and Cyndi had salmon 5 or 6 ways… bought a few provisions for our night in Melody, one of the Free Spirit Spheres… and I bought a small Japanese Maple for the garden… my wonderful children will drive it across the country when they travel east later in the summer… I am sooo happy… it’s name is cascading waterfall and I will put it in the back corner by the pond and bring it into the house for the winter…

we drove on to Cathedral Grove to soak up the beauty… this is such an amazing sanctuary and I will miss coming here…

fries and tea in Qualicum Beach and stopped to pick up a bottle of wine…

found our way to the Spheres… they are quite lovely… birds are singing and I can hear Cyndi chatting with the person in the next sphere, but can’t see them or the sphere… there was a lovely basket of treats waiting for us and kind hosts… took some pictures and am sitting looking across the pond… how could I not love such a place:-)…
