22nd May 2025

Cold morning, while Rosemary went for a shower, I sneaked on the heating.  The day warmed up, then became overcast with rain showers.

Lazy day today, reading and writing stuff. We saw a humming bird, but alas it was not around long enough to get the camera on to it. It liked the van’s wing-mirror.  Very small and when it flew near, there was indeed a humming sound from his wings. I had at first thought it was a very large, noisy insect.

Some of the small, dark red squirrels were around. They are much smaller than our grey squirrels.

On the track a little way away and above us, we watched several freight trains go by. The longest we counted was 216 trucks with two locomotives.

We were also privileged to see the Rocky Mountaineer train heading south to Kamloops. We waved and waved. Hope someone saw us.

Tonight was steak night with tomatoes, and mushrooms.
