We live on a cherry/apple orchard in beautiful Summerland, British Columbia located in the Okanagan Valley. We have very hot summers and are surrounded by mountain ranges, lakes, rivers. However we also live near several cities. The Okanagan Valley is known for its fantastic fruits and grape growing areas producing some of the world's finest wines.

The stay at Heather's was soooooo fun :) She has 2 lovely dogs and a lot of cute sheep. It was a new experience to start work at 5am, but it was worth it to escape the heat of the noon and afternoon. I did weeding the garden, feeding the sheep, planting seeds, cleaning the house inside and outside, building a water system that waters the plants… read more
