Deka Lake Dispatches

Starry, starry night.

This evening I took Kayla home and the sky was brilliant. The Big Dipper was amazingly beautiful with Venus low on the horizon. It takes a little experience to drive at night here as there is one streetlight between us and the Interlakes (about 15 minutes drive). Very, very dark on the road and then you look up and it's glowing. Sometimes it's very unsettling. There was a startled deer on the side of the road, long ears and "deer in the headlights" eyes.

I have completed the taping of 4 corners in the Pantry! By the 4th one it started to look pretty good. There are still many more coats to put on but I'm feeling less stressed. My first inclination was to do a terrible job and Bill then would call in the professionals. Not a choice, it seems.

Tomorrow is 100 Mile day: Library, Chartreuse Moose , Lumber stores, groceries, laundry, just a good time had by all. The day is supposed to be cold and bright. The drive in is so beautiful through the valley, I can't wait.

My zen garden looks very Cariboo; a little snow will set it up just right. And our lighted tree is a beacon on the road. When you come over the rise from Jody's place you can see it sparkling.

Bliss.
