So you thought this blog had dried up and all but disappeared from the interwebs. Well, you're wrong....just happens that i can't be bothered to sit still and plunk myself in front of the ole desktop to post something to the interwebs. Sure, i post some images to instagram or facebook or flickr...but they're usually a one or two shot deal and they are quick, even without owning a cell phone. I realized the other day, that this blog platform has provided a pretty fun timeline over the years, even if it's just for myself; although i know a few of you get a kick out of it as well and can't be bothered with that other media crap.  So with that in mind and the fact that it's now winter, i'm going to make an attempt to post here, if only a little more often than in the past half a year. So stop by from time to time and see what's cookin in our world of fun and adventure.  As usual...these are all photo's i've snapped.

The families shoes at rest well we played in the water at Redrock Canyon, Waterton Lakes National Park this summer.

Rogers Pass

Score

Either grown, foraged or caught.

Spent 4 months off work with my boys, getting up to all kinds of trouble, including rolling round town on this rig.  Surly Ogre, with Yepp Mini upfront and Trek Mnt Train in the back.

Because we always like a fun little project; we decided to rip out our front yard this spring and re landscape the whole thing into a raingarden.  Here we are just putting in some plants.  Being a cool wet summer, the yard flourished and should come back twice as nice next year.  Lot's of native species, berries, grasses, ferns, etc...

So yeah.  Now you're all up to speed...hahaha.

peace all

We've been going a little nuts the last two weeks, harvesting some bounty and cashing in on some good deals on cases of fruit and then canning the living daylights out of it. It's a bit of work, but knowing the cellar will be good and full come the winter and that we won't have to buy tomatoes from say, Mexico is a small price to pay.

Some garden treats.

These were some of the best peaches i have ever had in my life. I shit you not.



So far this week:
- 1.75 bushel's of local apples to apple sauce
- 70 peaches into cans and a about 30 eaten fresh
- 1 bushel of Norfolk Ontario Roma Tomatoes slow roasted in the oven and frozen. These were topped with fresh basil and local garlic.
- 8 liters of Andrews awesome dill pickle recipe (passed down through generations) (cukes from sleepy g farm).
- 1 bushel of the same tomatoes and a pile of peppers into tomato sauce.

Our little apple tree spat out a lot of blossoms this spring. If it produces half as many apples, we'll still be talkin.


n's homemade bagels...yum.


Cruisin' out on Nipigon Bay to do some night work on the lake.

Pretty much a 100 mile diet last sunday night:


Garden fresh potatoes grown in a pail in our backyard, fresh walleye that i caught, garden coleslaw (carrots and cabbage from Boreal Edge Farm), our tomatoes, local corn on the cob, fresh picked comb tooth and pig's ear mushrooms and green and yellow beans (some from our yard, some from Boreal Edge).
I love this time of year.


Now if only we could get some surf up in this. Of course, that might happen this weekend while i am out of town....that would only make sense. Not bitter about the lack of surf...nope, not bitter all (couldn't be more sarcastic).
