Green onions

It's begun, again. The produce, encore, is more than just the eggs. The green onions are viscous, akin to when one cuts into an aloe vera plant. The contrast between what many people eat and these exotic choices is remarkable. The yolks are like paint and neither the eggs nor the onions closely resemble what I find in our grocery store. What luxuries these gifts are. Maybe an omelette tonight.





Some rhubarb is stewed and ready to sample tonight. The gardens are tilled, albeit a tad on the wet side. There are mallards nesting in the yard and the mower has had a few good workouts.

Chicken eggs are set in the incubator and the first crop of juvenile song birds are at the feeder. The forest is brilliant green with the new gloss still on the aspen. The smell is wild and exotic.

Another growing season has begun. One more precious spring to welcome.
Wish you were here.

Qualicum Beach tour

Couldn't keep this one away from the salt chuck.





Suitable prairie girl awe.











Manon and Papa at the Englishman River bridge. Great childhood memories for me.





Manon sitting above the Englishman River pool. In the fall you can swim with the brilliant coloured sockeye in this amazing pool.





Manon and Bruce laughing while playing guitar. We played a lot. Lovely!







Nana's quilt on the bed. This one doesn't repeat. She's a sucker for punishment.









A reminder that lotus land isn't all soft and cuddly. Sheesh it was cold there!

Scotch Eggs

The Scots apparently have one of the worst diets going. These were tasty, but maybe not best for the heart. One more thing off the bucket list. Makes me feel like I should hurry though.

Red River flood

The flood is on. It was an impressive sight on this short drive to cross the Red.






Highway #201 East of Letellier. The double lines server as a more visible guide for the single lanes of traffic. I can imagine that a trip into the ditch here might pose some problems above and beyond the usual grief.






I wanted to build a raft with a sail so badly!
