I'm back. There a a couple of reasons for not posting regularly lately. I'm still busy. Here, around the lake, and cleaning culverts on the Notman road. Not too many silly people doing silly things but that could change tomorrow when someone returns from Chile. Oh, there was the case of camp lot-a-bull's the no wheel 4wheeler, but I didn't actually witness that escapade.


We felt the earthquake here. A little rattling, shaking and swaying. Just enough to say "!@#$" ?

Grasshopper is in town yard saleing today. This time she isn't buying, she is "manning" the tables for the Queen of London who is down-sizing some stuff.

Speaking of royalty, Sir Edwin, master of all he surveys, is back home recuperating and doing very well.


A-frame shingled and painted.




New deck and stairs. We'll stain them next year after the pressure treated wood has aged a bit.




We bought a new stove. It is wider than the old one, so the knee wall had to go and the wall patched. The floor had to be leveled and the flooring patched up.



Now we'll have to paint?




This could be a record year for blueberries on our property.




Some are trying to ripen already. Isn't this usually a July/August thing? Everything seems really early this year.





We had a couple of storms the past week. This one came roaring in with lots of flash bangs and wind and about an inch of rain. Then we had a quieter one that dropped 1.5 inches of rain in a few hours that caused some erosion.




Momma and babies. I'll try to get a pic of George trying to figure out how to catch a duck. He sits on the ramp or a rock and watches them go by.
