Christmas in March

finally caught up with dad and jean yesterday and today for Christmas was fun and we got cool stuff too - ear protectors, some furniture refinishing certificates, canning stuff ...was very entertaining- and practical too also got a BEAUTIFUL round maple server I guess you'd call it - hand made by dad it is satin smooth and just heavenly .... planner today thought we needed a demolition permit for pulling the old barns down - turns out the building inspector says NOPE not for agricultural buildings .. tres cool ... Christmas all morning -

then my mum got me a hair cut for my birthday - LONG mid back hair is now in a short cute do - we'll see if I can survive without a braid -

(apparently one should not take pictures in a mirror with flash lighting ;))

more walking

a couple of snaps from our most recent walk - on camera phone so they aren't great but you can see the pond overflow a bit and the broken tree so typical of what we found!






It's a planning time of year - looking for wood, deciding on locations for hives, cabins, barns etc..watching the pond overflow it's banks and hearing and seeing flocks of birds. There was some substantive wind damage last week (apparently the winds got up to 120 kilometres an hour just south of us. Interesting to see that we know our woods well enough to easily be able to see where trees have come down from the wind.
