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

Saturday outing

The Monsoons let up for a bit and I was able to get out for a few hours. It is amazing how fast the wildflowers have bloomed given all the water. The Wild Roses are still going strong.

 The Heartleaf Anica is appearing
 The Indian Paintbrush is also out. Its early for this.
 There are also lots of Streamside Bluebells
 Meanwhile the Tree Swallows are still attempting to nest.

My friends the Great Blue Herons are also now in the swamps
Life is good in the boonies!

More Flowers



Although flowers are not as much fun as birds and animals, what's a guy to do when it is approaching 100F and all the critters are hiding in the shade?

It is time. Alberta's flower, the wild rose


Just creeping through the bush.


Getting the old stink eye. There must be chicks around somewhere!

Along the River

A Red Winged Black Bird got very upset with my presence on the river bank


 He squawked and squawked. 
 The Chipmunk wasn't nearly as concerned


 I don't know the name of this butterfly, but it was sure pretty.
 The Wild roses are all out in bloom. Note the fly and bug.
 The don't call Alberta "Wild Rose Country" for nothing.
 Then again, when I got home, my buddy was waiting.
