It's been a while, but today I was able to continue working on the perimeter of the spruce grove. I started off at the little maple I had stopped at, last time, and made it to the fence line. 😀 The last time I went through the area, looking ahead to what needed to be … Continue reading Clean up: Spruce grove perimeter, reaching the fence!

Low Water and meeting people
Yesterday evening, my younger daughter and I were able to take her friend into town for dinner. When we were told it would be about 20-30 minutes before a table would be open (buffet night is popular, it turns out... 😀 ), we put our name on the list, then headed for the beach, which … Continue reading Low Water and meeting people

This is me, having a “heart attack”
High winds last night. Lost the internet a few times. A bit of a storm, later on. Several times, I took a quick walk around the yard to check on things and picked up downed branches (one of the apple trees in the west yard lost a big one). I paused to take a short … Continue reading This is me, having a “heart attack”

Taking advantage
With a house guest staying with us for the next while, we have been making use of the king size mattress that's been leaning on the dining room wall since my husband got his hospital bed. It's now set up in a corner of the dining room (we can even still use the dining table! … Continue reading Taking advantage

Though it's only the end of August, everywhere we look, we see the signs of autumn. This is one of the crab apple trees in the West yard. The apples are smaller than usual. Though the apples are not ripe yet, the tree, like so many others, is turning colour and dropping leaves already. One … Continue reading Reading the signs

Beach Views
We went into town today and after our errand, checked out the beach. I don't think I've been to the beach at this time day. The tide was quite a bit lower than I usually see it. That meant we could see more of the opposite shore than usual. The land looks like it's floating! … Continue reading Beach Views

The power of cat treats
Beep Beep and her Tuxedo were around the house yesterday evening, so I decided to get a bit more aggressive about this whole luring of kittens thing. I brought out the cat nip and the cat treats. They ignored the cat nip. They went nuts over the cat treats! Beep Beep was after them to … Continue reading The power of cat treats

Let’s face it. Cows are dumb
Today, I give you a story, in pictures and video. I like cows. Cows are wonderful creatures. They are also not exactly intelligent creatures, though I know some breeds are smarter than others. I was sitting in my office when I started to hear the sound of cows, mooing nearby. I realize the renter has … Continue reading Let’s face it. Cows are dumb

Turtle Victory
I spent a lot of time in our previous van. It wasn't unusual for me to be out and about, several times a day, and to spend a fair bit of time just sitting in it, waiting for a daughter to get off work or some such. So I made it my happy place. I … Continue reading Turtle Victory

Just Chillin’, just watching
DahBoy likes it on top of the piano. I love how he dangles his chin over things. And how his cheeks just sort of ... puddle. The Re-Farmer
