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…
Time to get some wood
Well, it’s time to burn up some of last year’s vacation and head out west to gather firewood for the summer ahead. Like I’ve done the past few years, I booked the last week of March off. Woke up this morning to some beautiful weather and figured it was a perfect day for a drive….

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…
