Sadly, it's just about the end of the fresh, local fruit season. The cherries disappeared weeks ago and now the plums and prune stock is dwindling. It does seem nice to start buying this year's apple crop. The selection is good and they crunch so much better when right off their branches (or on modern cultivars, vines.) We did get some tiny, champaign grapes. Grapes are the final hoorah for the Okanagan season.
When driving back through uptown, we stopped in the mall. It was rainy and misty outside. We wanted to get a few extra steps in today. We have a lot of seniors in our city and the Royal City Mall is often a place where older people get in some walking when the weather is less than cooperative.
It's now later afternoon and things have cleared up nicely.
