I'll be looking forward to the solstice and when the sun goes in the right direction again, I don't like the long days either Carol, they are draining. It got close to the freezing mark last night which gave a break from the biting flies. Life would be much easier without them, and that short...

6C wet windy and cold, and if it were not for the leaves on the trees I would say that summer is nowhere in sight. I don't know about going without heating until Oct Carol, our summers keep on getting colder and wetter. I recall back in my working days when I would turn the window airconditioner...

We had quite the airshow yesterday, as it turned out it was Search and Rescue doing their training maneuvers, at times so low they were just above the trees. As the CL130 was flying the pattern, a couple of choppers joined in including the one with two rotors that looks more like a flying...

I'm not alone with the cold, its 8C gray with a cold north wind, cold enough to hold back the clouds of mosquitos, but not quite cold enough for snow. It would not surprise me one bit if we get snowflurries overnight. Search and Rescue is flying low with a Hercules C130 rumbling through the...

9C cold and wet, with clouds of mosquitos. Not fit for man or beast outside today. First thing I did was light the fire before boiling the breakfast egg. Tony, I only had antibiotics for the first week post surgery before they took me off of them. So far so good, no thrush. I remember the thrush...

Great to see you step in T Bone it appears that we are all on the same raft flowing down the river of life, but hopefully not over the falls. I never warmed up to the idea of carrying around one of those crazy expensive phones, but rely more on tree mail than email living in these rural parts...

I had a zoom appointment with my regular doctor and she too said that things could/should improve with time. It was a long appointment almost 40 minutes and covered many things. She says I am doing well, as well as pushing the limits and that I should go easier. More pain relievers, and more...

I went out and soaked up the afternoon lakeside on the dock, it was quite a summer day watching the dragon flies and the big jets going overhead. The A380 stands out from the other jets, as one can see the four engines even when they are at cruising altitude. The air fills with thunder, one can...

I went for a walk to the lake instead of sitting out on the dock as the weather was unsettled. Today its a nice summer day, and I will park myself on the dock. I put a small fire on to take the chill off, as there is no denying that the nights are cold. The black flies are not very potent this...

I went in and did a supply run, it was a long one with 7 stops, but the grocery store was the long grind. In pain, I was glad to drop my bones into the recliner and settled in for some chinese food. I make my own egg drop and mushroom soup to save a few bucks and it tastes the same as it comes...

I spent the afternoon sitting out on the dock, feeling the play of the waves beneath me. Nothing like a big floating dock away from the biting flies with the breeze. Everything bright spring green against the blue skies with the odd jet passing high overhead. Now that is an afternoon, good for...

I enjoyed the movie Mary Poppins, the music and the magic, those were the best times for the movies, and back in the day the buckets of popcorn and pop. I long for the days when I could eat anything I wanted. I put a small fire on this morning to take the chill off, but careful not to burn too...

4C It was a cold frosty night and I put a good fire on this morning to warm the place up. The weather people are predicting a normal summer for a change meaning it will be warmer and drier, which would be welcomed after several years of cold wet summers. All the media hype about wildfires in...

8C partly cloudy with clouds of biting flies. We had a shower, with no wind and the humidity makes the perfect conditions for black flies. Recovery takes another turn and now I can sleep in a regular bed and it feels great to sleep on my side again. I had some good deep sleep which is a treat...

10C Sunny dandy start to the day, but I noticed the first mosquitos last night and again this morning. This is a bit concerting as they should not be coming out for another 4 more weeks, the black flies are a menace in themselves and don't need any extra back up help. The walking dead; I have...

8C increasing cloudiness with possible showers. It looks like an indoor type of day coming up here too, conditions are perfect for the blackflies, cloud, humidity and no wind. I took the truck out for a ride which is now almost a month ago since I last drove. I had little problems sitting on the...

7 Gray and damp, it should be clearing later. I woke up well past my wake up time, it felt like my body needed the sleep. Sounds like you have a very capable partner who shares the load Tony, its not easy doing it alone. Once I heal up, mother nature will be cracking the whip to get me going on...

The taking it easy part Carol is the hard thing to do. My brain says go, and the body not so much. A day at a time, the neighbor is bringing me chinese food from the restaurant later, so it will be a good day.

4C sunny. I am feeling much better today, and noticed the difference last night as the evening progressed. I'll be up and about more today, go for a short walk, and pick up small wood for heating the house. Stairs are much easier to navigate, and the heart is working much less now. Given the...

2C The rains turned into wet snow, which is pretty typical for the time of year when large systems move through, but its melting on contact. I'm taking it easy with a good fire on. I am feeling stronger, but must still go easy getting up and moving around, otherwise my heart starts to work hard...
