I do it again…

Already Green!! …. March 8th!!
Wow!!!

I’m thrilled that everything worked out again this year! It’s a bit early, but with the weather being so perfect, I couldn’t resist uncovering my babies. I’m beyond excited they’ve returned!

I’m only uncovering some of my babies for now – my red ones in the backyard are still off-limits. It’s just a bit too early for them!

Awesome!

Maybe Spring is near?

 A beautiful day for a fire in the backyard. The weather today is absolutely beautiful, hovering around +4°C, and there’s a refreshing warmth in the air. The snow is beginning to melt, slowly revealing patches of grass beneath, which is a sure sign that spring might finally be on its way. It’s such a peaceful moment, with the sun shining down and the sounds of nature starting to return. The promise of brighter, warmer days ahead is definitely in the air.

Rose 🌹 Time

Well, despite the current heat wave, my twice-daily watering routine looks like it’s working. My roses are looking absolutely fabulous. Who knew I had such a green thumb? It’s either my dedication or the fact that the roses are just too stubborn to let a little heat get them down!

Beautiful
Wow!! 😮

Trees, 🌲 Trees 🌲 and more 🌲 🌲


This week, I happened to be on standby, so I decided to use some company fuel and head north to one of our sites to pick up more spruce trees. With Turd in the passenger seat, we set off. Despite a few rain showers along the way, we arrived at the station.

I grabbed gloves and a shovel and started digging. Before long, I had 18 little spruce trees loaded in the back of the company truck. We headed back home to plant them in their new home. It was a quick but successful trip.

Happy Dog

Out grow that…

Well, the tree growth over the last 7 years has been slowly starting to hide my flag … so it was time to add some extensions to get the flag back up above the trees 🌲 🌳

Hopefully, the wind doesn’t get the best of it !!

Just what I needed…

Just what I needed to hear on my way home from hunting….”The carpet is wet in the basement!!”

Well, raced home to a wet basement!! The outside tap somehow cracked and was leaking into the wall as Joanne watered the trees. 2 1/2 months with no significant rainfall!! There’s are so dry…except the basement carpet!!

Looks like work…
