Welcoming Spring

The days are growing longer and warmer, and to celebrate we at the Pear Tree House have been getting out of the house more. Whether it’s a trip to the park near our house or our little back yard, the fresh air and sunshine have been luring us out. We’ve been running, strolling, climbing, chasing, crawling and, on the rare occasion, just sitting still and soaking it all in.
Indoors, we’ve been preparing ourselves, mentally, for the Big Clean, where we dust off the proverbial cobwebs, polish up the windows to let the aforementioned sun in and re-arrange the furnishings a little to keep things fresh.
We’re also continuing to tweek the Pear Tree website – a task that, like keeping a house, never seems to end, and always evolves to keep things interesting.
If you haven’t yet noticed on the sidebar to the right, we also welcome a new sponsor this month: Kelowna Museums. Please check out their site by clicking on the button. There is a schedule for current and upcoming events, which includes the Neighbourhood Nosh, a free wine tasting event held the first Thursday of the month (including tonight) from 4-6 p.m. at the B.C. Wine Museum and VQA Wine Shop. While work continues on The Laurel Packinghouse, the B.C. Wine Museum and Neighbourhood Nosh is located behind the heritage building, on Ellis Street.
In the mean time, we’ve got a line-up of tantalizing spring inspirations for you to check out this month, on the main site as well as the blog – so keep on checking back!
And how are you welcoming spring?
