Going South

Today we head south to Toronto to visit family and celebrate Easter. Many we haven't seen since January so it's always a good time when we get together. I can hear the rain hitting out trailer as we type so it will be a welcome change to get out and visit for a day or two.

Unfortunately Leanne is sick so we will miss her and Jamie. Get well soon and we will see you when you are better.

Yvan finished splitting the wood and now all that needs to be done is to stack it and let it dry.

We checked the lake and the ice is almost gone. Can't wait for summer and those evening paddles we both enjoy.

Here and there we still see patches of snow; this one happens to be along our road.

Enlarge this picture and you can see some of our local residents. I had to shoot in a hurry, from a moving truck, so the picture is a little blurry. We also have coyotes, bear, ducks, loons, eagles, and moose in the area. Once our house is up we will have a perfect view over our pond and hope to get some better pictures.

We also have some local domestic animals. We get free range eggs every week and I do mean free range. These girls love to wander all over the place, but they prefer to travel in a group.
Happy Easter, see you in church. Travel safely and watch out for the other guy.
