A rainbow joined us for dinner.

We built a huge spice rack out of recycled pallet wood. Watch the video of the build: https://youtu.be/x_DarFvS0yM

Watch us upcycle discarded pallets into a functional spice rack that outperforms those 20-spice racks you can grab on Amazon. Who can get by with just 20 spices, and how sad are we for them? This is an eco-friendly, sustainable way to turn trash into something that adds functionality to your kitchen.

In this video, we source the pallet wood, break down the pallet, turn it into a sprawling spice rack, and then paint and sand it to give it a weathered, well-used look.

Let us know what some of your favourite spices are in the comments!

September heralds the apple harvest in Summerland, and if you take a stroll around the lanes on these beautiful fall days, you will see the orchards busy with apple pickers. This week's Throwback Thursday celebrates this custom with this photograph from around 1910.
The photo shows the apple harvest in the Ritchie orchards, with picking bags hanging over the shoulders of several of the pickers. Identified are William Ritchie Sr. (the man with the beard), Antoine Pierre is behind him, and the older woman in the black dress is Mrs. Campbell (aunt of James Ritchie) with her daughter standing next to the ladder.
The Ritchie property was extensive. James Ritchie arrived in the community in 1903 from Manitoba. He bought the former Barclay ranch house (which still is located on South Victoria Road) along with the ranch of 22 acres. He then pre-empted the land on Giant's Head and bought a large portion of Garnett Valley which he sub-divided into ten- and twenty-acre lots. In 1905, Mr. Ritchie obtained title to the 350-acre Indian Reserve No. 3) by an exchange of property plus a monetary settlement. He subdivided this property and developed the townsite, naming it West Summerland.
This photo is remarkable for how little has changed in this agricultural tradition. Orchardists may now utilise tractors and quads, but the apple boxes and ladders can still be seen in modern orchards. The clothes may be a little less formal and less restrictive today though - particularly for the women workers!

ID: a black and white photograph shows a group of men and women posing in front of an apple tree in an apple orchard. Two of the men have large fruit-picking bags slung over their shoulders, and one of the women sits on top of a wooden ladder. In front of the group are boxes, two of which are tilted to show that they are full of apples.
