Crazy2b Adventures and OrdealsA 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.
With a heat warning in effect, we decided to take the opportunity to go camping for a few days. After some minor brake repairs on my quad, we packed up and headed out west of Caroline. We set up camp late Monday and enjoyed a few drinks around the fire.
The next morning, we started a campfire and enjoyed our coffee with Baileys. Later, we packed some snacks and beers and hit the trails. The heat became too much for Swiffer, so we decided to head back to camp. On the way, I accidentally rolled my quad into a mud hole. Frustrated, we returned to camp to grab some dry clothes.
To get cleaned up, we headed to the river for a refreshing skinny dip. Despite the chilly water, it felt great to get cleaned up. After drying off and enjoying a cool beer, we returned to camp. By then, the heat was intense, and Swiffer had enough.
For the next couple of days, we relaxed at camp, soaking in the warmth. On Thursday morning, we decided to pack up and head back to take care of the plants and trees at the acreage. It’s tough to take off for a few days during such a heatwave!
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.
Asparagus Thief!!!!!
Okay mother nature, work your magic, water my trees!!!🌲
🌲 Year to date…. 42 🌲
I must feed my addiction!!!!
Trees are planted and the rain hopefully is coming saving me watering 42 new trees and it’s only the 21st of May…
Ahhhh I just remembered I bought some stuff at auction sale in Caroline today, so I guess Turd and I will be heading out west to pick up my goodies from the auction and probably 20 new 🌲
Oh, did I say I’m on holidays for the week??
After a lot of work of ripping the backseat out to gain access to the front of the motor to replace the plastic drain piece, we are back on the water!! So relaxing to just get out, do a little cruising and then cut the engine and chill. The weather has been so lately! Beautiful evening with just a little breeze.
Well, it was finally time to take the Corvette out for the summer of 2022. Within the first 30 seconds of hitting the highway, I was sideways! Cold tires + cold asphalt = possible rhubarb tasting!!! Not really a good feeling at 100 km an hour! I wasn’t even horsing around. Then off to Innisfail we went for a haircut. When I say we, I mean Swiffer and I. No haircut for Swiffter today. He’s is booked for tomorrow!
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 to teach him how to paddle for optimal relaxation!
