I fantasize about driving somewhere today and having an afternoon in fresh air and blue skies. My toddler has been indoors for too many days in a row!

I heard Alison lake was nice on Monday but that was several days ago now and too far to drive just to find out. Big white looks smokey. Has anybody come or gone from Kelowna to somewhere that is clear recently?

I bought a dried whisk (birch + lemon balm) and soaked it for an hour in a bucket of water. The water became quite fragrant (and yellow).

I poured some on the stones and it smelled quite lovely. Does anyone else do this? I assume it will get the stones dirty, but if I have to pull out the first few layers and scrub them every few months, it's worth it.

It also has me wondering about putting a tea bag of chamomile or peppermint in the bucket.

I just had a fly follow me into the sauna and it ended up falling into the stones. Everything was fine for 5 minutes but then it smelled surprisingly bad, so much that I ended the session!

I'm sure you bunch have seen/smelled worse?
