It’s the weekend, and since it’s not yet the peak season for the local campgrounds, Jess and I decided we’d take the Airstream out to Goldstream Park to see if we could get a campsite for the night. We were successful, and the Airstream was perfect! We may need to upgrade the battery, since it depleted itself quite quickly with just a few lights on, but aside from that, we loved it. So cozy, and Goldstream is such a beautiful campground. The dogs were somewhat puzzled by the excursion, but I think they were in favour of it overall.
Jess has asked me again to take a professional head shot for work purposes, so here’s my favourite of the batch. Handsome fellow!
I love this tree — I think it’s my favourite one on our whole property. And every year at this time, this beautiful weeping cherry puts on an incredible show of pretty, pink blossoms. Springtime!
Our tenants have vacated our lower suite, and Braeden and his buddy plan to move in in September, but until then we plan to put it up on Airbnb. We’ve been scouring Marketplace for furnishings, and I spent my day installing this gorgeous wall mural. It was not an easy task, and my sister came to help, which made things quite a bit more do-able. I wasn’t too sure how it would look, but now that it’s fully installed, I LOVE it.
It’s hatch day! I’m not incubating too much this year, but we loved the Mistral Gris breed of chicken for its delicious meat, so I’ve now managed to successfully hatch 33 of these little cuties. We will have a freezer full of chickens again by late summer.
Tonight my sister and I went to Culinaire, an amazing foodie-focused event with a ton of local restaurants, distillers and mixologists under one roof. Jess and I went last year and it was so memorable, we got tickets again for this year, but sadly for Jess, he ended up having to be in Vancouver for work. So my sister gladly attended in his place, and we feasted on delectable bites and sample-sized cocktails. I will definitely be going again next year!
Our wonderful friends arranged a night out on the town. We started with cocktails at End Dive, and moved on to Brasserie L’Ecole for a delicious dinner of tasty French food. To finish the night we went to Dan’s place for a delicious dessert made by his daughter. Love these friends of ours, so grateful to have them.
The heron has returned! Or perhaps it’s a different heron. He/she stood on the roof of the cabin for a while, while I snapped pics with my zoom lens. Such a regal looking bird.
