Life On and Off an Acreage

In-sights into moving from an Acreage back to Town, plus a few things I find of interest.

Two things that horses are scared about:


1. Things that move
2. Things that don't move




Old enough to be eccentric, but not rich enough

Down by the River

Yesterday, we broke a 59 year old record at 19.3 C! Today is much the same! The woodland paths are flooded, muddy and slippery where there is still ice. No trails, off to the River I go.


 The first of the critters today was this squirrel. The warm weather has brought them out, and they are very hungry!

 There are lots of Canada Geese arriving from the south. Front side of a bathing pose

Its good to see them back! They kind of are replacing the Red Polls, Sparrows and others that are off nesting up.

  1. We too, broke a 59-year record yesterday. It was 74 degrees F - and has been unseasonably warm for a couple weeks. But, today we're overcast and only expected to be around 60F, which is still a wee bit warmer than what is considered "normal". Whatever that is! Spring has sprung and flowers are popping up everywhere. I noticed on a recent walk that the ground is much drier than it should be - more like the end of May, rather than March. The creek was unusually low for this time of year as well. A bit worrisome even though the weather has been enjoyable. Hope we don't have a summer scorcher.
    Hope you dry out and warm up soon.
