Hiking Trip




Last weekend was beautiful, sunny and........ warm! Milo circumnavigated Blueberry hill in a first ever attempt via Chariot on skis. Oh, the hiking was slow and step but Milo's trusty porter Seth pushed and post-holed to the end. The Chariot was a smooth ride, the front was mostly in the air, it was lucky Milo was restrained in his infant sling because his child transport system was pushed to it's maximum. The day was finished in style at the bakery with treats and than book club at our house, with a reduce/ reuse theme of clothes trade and simplification discussion. Just another way to drink a few bottles of wine and chat with friends.

Spring is in the air around here. The yard is a mess of this year's dog visitors presents, chickens peeking out of their house and mating squirrels. Stephen the squirrel has found a mate and are they amorous! Seth and I took a visit to Grandma and Grandpa's yesterday where Milo was "declared a squat redhead, a stout muscle man." We also borrowed Grandpa's live trap and than Uncle Bob emailed with news of a refined "Squirrelinator 5000, cat-friendly and humane." I think we'll set them both and see what wins. Stephen has lived here two years spongeing off the chickens and the free ride is oooooooooooover! His poo and his mess in my shed was the end Stephen, the end! THE END STEPHEN!
