Also thanks for your kind comments on my blog. Re the Strawberry Full Moon ... No worries about not hearing about it before. :-) I was in the same boat. I guess I haven't really gotten too excited about a June Full Moon until this one, what with it being on the Solstice Day. So, I had go look up the Native American names and used the Old Farmers Almanac to do that. It does make sense, though, doesn't it ... at least for those around our area here since the strawberries are being harvested right now. Maybe since we are not "Old Farmers" we have a good excuse not to know! By the way, I liked your use of "ahem" ... I don't see it so often but like it when I do! :-) Hope your week is going well!John's Islandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03618219887687125402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940863090367389327.post-86637630642575570522016-06-21T19:38:55.107-07:002016-06-21T19:38:55.107-07:00Hi Nora, I'm so glad you've visited in the...Hi Nora, I'm so glad you've visited in the Peace River region.

I always thought it would be neat to live on a river's edge or beside a lake, but I have seen too many people lose their homes to flooding...not only homes, but livestock as well...not to mention the wildlife, trees and plants. Mother Nature sure seems to be on a rampage lately. I'm so sorry to hear about the British Columbia flood. This is the first I have heard of it.

Rain is so rare for us here in the desert of southern New Mexico, but it defines us, and they say that there are two ways to die in the desert--thirst and drowning. We long for rain, but it is very dangerous to us when it comes in any quantity, as it gathers quickly and causes flash floods. I am sorry that your province is suffering from these floods. clairzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12076402619649343527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940863090367389327.post-76745764008936995382016-06-19T14:36:56.748-07:002016-06-19T14:36:56.748-07:00Yes, it is horrible Meredith.

I got the news on the television's nightly news in Vancouver not off the internet though video and pics are not mine. You would have a good excuse to pass through Dawson Creek if you were to drive to Alaska because Dawson Creek is "Mile 0" of the Alaska Highway. When I was a young teenager working in restaurants, I served many American tourist doing just that. Fort McMurray residents have started returning home and dealing with the devastating aftermaths of fire and rebuilding.Joyfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956413632864588646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940863090367389327.post-42987537832658584122016-06-19T14:33:20.149-07:002016-06-19T14:33:20.149-07:00Hi Red, I'm surprised it hasn't been your ...Hi Red, I'm surprised it hasn't been your news since the area affected is much larger than Fort McMurray.

Or is it just that I am following more Canadian bloggers? :-) The drone footage was quite well done and, like you mentioned, gives a good overview. My curiosity led me to open up Google Earth and take a better look at Dawson Creek. It is an interesting place ... hope to see it in person one of these days. The flood damage reminds me of the recent damage in Fort McMurray and I wonder how folks are doing there. The media is dropping the ball on keeping us updated on that story. Thanks for sharing this information. The forecast for our part of the world is looking good for the next few days ... hope you have a fine week!John's Islandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03618219887687125402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940863090367389327.post-62788787258846201022016-06-19T07:17:10.385-07:002016-06-19T07:17:10.385-07:00We've heard nothing about this on the news. th...We've heard nothing about this on the news. the news guys are being lazy again.Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996243850279671523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940863090367389327.post-30364418336171493082016-06-19T05:31:23.737-07:002016-06-19T05:31:23.737-07:00Oh my, how devastating!
