Wow...what a view!

After 7 years of apartment living, Kelsie has become a first time house renter! And whoa, what a great rental!

It sits on top of a mini mountain just outside of Hope, with a view that made my jaw drop. Every room, except 2, has a magnificent view of the Fraser River and Cascade Mountains.. And those 2 that don’t, have views of the forest. Le sigh…it’s absolutely beautiful.


The view from the extremely spacious deck on top of the garage, and the view from the living and dining room…





In the yard was this odd plant. Is it an Elephant’s Ear? It looks like it, but the leaves on this one are much wider than any other I have seen.



Along the back of the property were these bundles of Curly Willow branches, and thicker stalks. I’ll grab a few next time and get my craft on. :)



Happy first time house renter!



The sun was shining all day…



But the smog was disgusting. I haven’t seen it this thick for a few years. Crazy!



Yesterday was a great day. The company was as always lots of fun and the view made my heat go pitter patter. Yay!

I think those might be castor bean leaves, Colleen. I'd have to google to be sure.

What a gorgeous view and wonderful location. Is Kelsie related to you? I don't think I recall you mentioning her before.

No, not Castor beans. These leaves are as wide as they are high. The stalks resemble Rhubarb.

Kelsie is one of my bestest friends! She's mentioned in quite a few posts here.
