We made a short visit up to Smithers to see my mom. One day we walked down to the Bulkley River.
Lupines were in flower
As were violets and geraniums.
We got home just in time for the big heat dome event with record breaking temperatures. We had 43 Celsius in the shade on our backyard thermometer, previously the highest I'd seen was 37 degrees. And of course the fires began and the town of Lytton burned down after breaking the all-time Canadian record. 49.6 Celsius! Scary.
Which made us very worried here after being a fire hotspot in 2017. Mercifully, we've had no big fires yet,gg and the smoke has been pretty moderate as well so far.
We're relieved to be down to 30 degree temperatures now which is hot enough, and hoping for some rain soon.
