WW Derby 01
Here’s what i did for fun yesterday. There is a local White Water Derby and i was lucky enough to have a ringside seat. The water is around 3 feet higher than last year they say.
Stay tuned for pics of some paddlers!
Game Farm 03
Can u get your dogs (or cats!) to do this? I don’t think so. But these pets are a little more expensive to keep.
Most Beautiful Birds? I wish i had a pic of the full spread tail.
Stay tuned for more!
Paddling 01
My New Boat!!!!!!! Ya i’m so excited! just got me an awesome touring kayak.
Its a Clear Water Design – Gaspe. 16 feet, with rudder, ergonomic seat w/ pump up lumbar support, and a great paddle.
Got it used (but not abused). This will b perfect for our annual wilderness camping trips. And now that i own my own boat i can go for short paddles around here just to enjoy the water.
I would just like to thank the Lord, and also Bob who sold me this fine craft.
PSYCHED!!
Wood is Good 09 – Growing More Firewood
Below u see a stump on my property. The power company came thru and cleared trees from under the power line last year. The trees want to keep growing and there’s life still in the roots.
In order to concentrate the effort, i select the strongest straightest shoot. The others are removed. We will see how this works out.
My theory is better one fat healthy trunk than a bunch of little ones all dividing the strength of the tree.

Game Farm 02
I remember going there as a kid. So hot it was that day, and i felt like i was in the desert i was so thirsty. I don’t think they had any drinking fountains anywhere. But the animals were so awesome!
Not native to my continent!

The scratching post.
Seasonal appreciation
Hey just about everybody i know is longing for the end of winter and the start of spring. Ok not just about, EVERYBODY.
but look at what we all want. The end of winter and start of spring. Kind of like if a tree falls in the forest and no ones there does it make any noise?
If we weren’t sick of winter would we really welcome spring so heartily? Would we notice? Would it actually be spring without winter to contrast it to? Would u b thinking about all this if i were not asking u? I’m not sure what u would b thinking, but THERE CAN B NO SPRING WITHOUT WINTER.
