Well, it might be a tad premature, but with this gorgeous weather, I couldn’t resist! I had to use up last year’s holidays, so I decided to dust off Sophia (my car, not a friend!) from the garage and take her, along with Swiffer, for a joyride into town with the top down. Let’s just…
Icefishing 2020
Well, I’m still scratching my head wondering what happened to winter, but I decided to seize the opportunity for my first and possibly only ice fishing adventure! The ice was a solid 2 1/2 feet thick, but maneuvering on and off the lake wasn’t a piece of cake. Despite spending the last couple of days…
Enjoying the weather
With the arrival of warmer weather, I decided it was finally time to complete the chair I started working on two years ago and perhaps even build a new bench for the backyard. Despite a few windy days and a slight chill in the air, the sun has been shining, making it the perfect opportunity…
Brutally cold weather
The weather this winter had been nothing short of amazing until recently. However, over the past nine days, we’ve been experiencing bone-chilling temperatures hovering around -40°C! Talk about a dramatic shift! Instead of enjoying a cozy Valentine’s weekend, I found myself busy with station checks and ensuring everything was running smoothly amidst the extreme cold….
Sad Day….Ginger🥲
Well Ginger has been sick for a couple weeks now and today was the day that she had to be put down! It just happened to be January 6 the same day that Melissa left us😞
Spoiled!!
Santa thought he was being hilarious when he gifted Swiffer a tiny float toy for the hot tub. Little did we know, Swiffer would become a hot tub enthusiast overnight, happily floating around while indulging in some bone-chewing action! Who knew our furry friend had such extravagant tastes in leisure activities? Now we just need…
So much fun…
Well, we embarked on our adventure westward, cruising down the Coal Camp Road to set up camp along the picturesque Red Deer River. It was a picture-perfect spot to set up camp! Our week was filled with quad rides and strolls through the hills, but despite our efforts, we only managed to catch a glimpse…
Hunting 2020 – Around the Farm
It was an eventful day, but I finally got him – a magnificent 4 x 3 mule deer buck in Hehr’s. Our pursuit began when we spotted him at 9:30 in the morning on land we couldn’t hunt, so we patiently waited for his move. He darted back and forth across the coulee, presenting a…
Planning…Hunting 2020
Exciting news this year as I’ve been drawn for mule deer hunting around the farm! Our strategy is to set up camp in the yard and head out on the first day to bag my tag. We’re starting our adventure on Friday after work, intending to stay until my tag is filled, or at least…
Winter is knocking on the door…
As of October 14, 2020, we’ve already experienced our first significant snowfall, with a blanket of 2-3 inches of fresh snow and overnight lows plunging to -13°C! It certainly seems like winter might be settling in for the long haul. During my return journey from last weekend’s hunting and camping trip, I noticed that there’s…
