Be kind to yourself Patsy, the work will still be there next weekAnother clear, hot day (86°F) with mild breeze. I raked up piles of oak leaves but ran out of steam before gathering to put in compost. If the wind doesn't redistribute the leaves, maybe I can finish off that project tomorrow or later this week!
This is one of my favorite programs. These take place in fall with the onset of winter. Contestants are dropped off in remote areas in the fall and cope with living off of the land as long as possible before winter conditions force many to quit until only one person is left who wins the prize. Several shows took place in Northern Canada which has a similar climate and lands to where I live in Northwestern Ontario.
I am too old now, but if this program took place when I was young I would have signed up for the challenge as I am familiar with living off of the land and trapping which I did in my younger years.
The biggest mistake many of the contestants make are getting lonely from missing family which mentally breaks them down until they quit, or not putting enough efforts into making a good shelter.
Yes the biting flies are bad in the fall, but nothing like the power and vigor they have in spring when they first hatch that can drive a sane person crazy.
I had a good long walk over the lake yesterday in the sunshine and dry cold until I had to turn back because the body was not holding up like it used to. Glad to put bum to seat and another log into the fire.
-7C Cloudiness
Surprise!... late yesterday afternoon we got some RAIN!! I havent gone out to see how much but the cloud hung around for a while!!
I've been battling a flea infestation too. Yesterday I sprayed around the area, treated my cat and then I decided to pile on... and sprinkled DE around the house too! That's when it rained.
ok, I'll do it all again! ....Rain rules!
I believe it's safe to say spring is here to stay! The forecast is for highs in low 80's for next 5-7 days with lows in mid 60's.

It's a funny old day....bright sunshine alternating with heavy showers every few minutes and quite a cool breeze......but we chanced a trip into town and survived. We haven't had to bad a winter really.... tomorrow we have an apt. with Les's cancer (throat not prostate) consultant. Hoping he will be signed off as it's been almost 5yrs......it was an MRI for his throat that picked up the prostate cancer,as he says " once they get you they don't let you go"
Interesting yet scary how they can find prostate cancer with a throat MRI. I do have an enlarged prostate. I went for another walk on the lake and I am getting a good tan on my face from the reflection of the sun off the snow. With those kinds of temperatures Patsy I would love spring too.
-3C Mainly sunny.

I think maybe they were scanning for any other signs elsewhere ? When I had an MRI for Crohns I ended up having my gall bladder out uneccasarily (sp?) because it looked "funny" Turned out it just had a "kink" in it...well honestly.we've all got kinks somewhere eh?....another thing I wonder about is could Les's radiation treatment have something to do with his dementia...probably best not to dwell on it though
6c with sunshine and showers again.....Les discharged from the cancer hospital I'm happy to say....
Don't scratch Patsy hahaha.I got infested some years ago from a dog that Hadn't even been near my house.I only stood and chatted to his owner on the street....I was horrified, but it's ok if they're you own pets so to speak.Surprise!... late yesterday afternoon we got some RAIN!!

I used to watch "Survivor." I think I'll start watching again, for some reason those survival skills just mezmerize me, prob because I'd never last two minutes out there haha. I also am terrified of bears, and though not like the bear and wildlife population in some areas of the world, we do have a few bears in the mountains around here.
Well, we got several inches of snow on the ground through the night, then this mornging it started clearing and now beautiful blue skies again, though it's only 35° out there.
Wishing you all blue skies, better health and happy lives.

Hey Carol, you snuck a post or two in while I was writing mine! Good news about Les!
Today was in the 90s, that's too hot for so early. I do hope it's not a sign we're in for a more brutal summer than usual. The 7 day forecast does have cooler days again next week. No rain though. For all my excitement over the rain we had this week, there was only 2/10 of an inch in the gauge!
Its been miserable for the past couple of days, it warmed up, rained and now everything is a mess. I was just out to the outhouse and can hear someone stuck in the ditch down by the road. There is nothing I can do to help them, but if they cannot get going I will walk down and provide them with a phone number to the neighbor who has the machinery to pull them out if they don't first walk up the hill for help. Walking in this mess is not easy. A good time of year for those lucky enough to get on the plane to somewhere warm with sandy beaches.
My fridge got sick again as the fridge side was warm and the freezer cold. It was a loose wire for the defrost circuit. It's working now, but I had to throw some food out on the side of safety which I cannot afford to do, but will do anything to avoid getting sick.
6C Raw and wet.

Crohns teaches you yo be careful around food eh? even your own?...still cool over here but lots of blue sky and sun.We walked along the high road above the river earlier and there were a couple of cruise liners moored up river at the Royal Quays,Seems a tad early......I thought Easter was the start of the season but it means summers on the way.
Sounds like a bad day all around, Buff! Muddy, soupy roads with someone stuck and a fridge that needs replacing if can't be repaired!
New refrigerators are expensive too and quite fancy these days!
About 3am this morning, we had some thunder storms come through the area. Not much rain on the 6 acres, main storm was north of me. There was hardly any measurable rain in my gauge. We're under fire danger watch today with high winds.
Easter is late this year, guess the cruise lines decided not to wait!
Lol! I'm horrified either way! Yuk!
