Travel: Elk Island Winter Hike
Elk Island winter hike. We’ve been hiking at Elk Island before and even in the winter, yet not with Daph-Daph! This little afternoon was well spent hiking the ~4 km trail called Beaver Pond. No, we didn’t see any beavers, yet we saw some open plains and enjoyed the fresh clean air. Let’s check out these photos! Elk Island Winter Hike One thing that bothers me about Elk Island, and I’d say most hiking trails is that their estimate for the hike is usually far…

Project: 60 Foot Tower
60 foot tower! Oh my goodness, why would anyone need to have this on their property? Well, we live in the country and we finally got tired of slow internet. This is a DMX-68AN tower, so it’s actually 68 feet tall! Do you stream Netflix? Crave? Watch YouTube videos with ease? Well, we struggled to get Netflix to stream consistently, and no way the other two would work. So, we did a whole heck of a lot of research and after the tree cutting in…

Project: Tree Cutting 2019
Tree cutting 2019 – why am I sharing something so old? That’s a good question. Well, one of the reasons why I’m sharing this tree cutting 2019 project is because first, I forgot; but second, because it sets up the next post I’ll share on December 30. Tree Cutting 2019 Okay – so why did we cut down trees? First, we took down trees that were in danger of falling on the house, the shop and the trailers. We also built a retaining wall, installed…

Photos: Woof Wednesday 4.0
Woof Wednesday 4.0! I don’t think I’ll ever stop sharing photos of Daph-Daph here on the blog, so Woof Wednesdays are officially a thing, especially considering we’re running the fourth edition! Bella and Lily had a couple of Woof Wednesdays, too. Okay, today we’re celebrating having Daphne the Afghan Hound in our lives for one year (well, one year and 3 weeks today!) – these photos were taken on the exact same weekend one year later. She’s grown so much. Such a cutie. She was…

Photos: Woof Wednesday 3.0
Woof Wednesday 3.0! Time to show off a few pictures of Daphne the Afghan hound. The best photos are the two below. A little before and after her very first hair cut. Don’t worry, we didn’t cut the hair on top of her head! Check it out – she’s looks like a different pup, yet I assure you, she’s the same loveable Daphne! Plus, now we get to see more of her personality and expressions – she’s not so fluffy anymore (yet it’ll grow back…

Project: New Shed
New shed – this was a September 2019 project. The kind of project that spins off another. Remember the retaining wall we did? Well, we wanted a shed, too. Mainly to get all the lawn maintenance stuff out of the shop since we’re working on Bolers in there. So, let’s check out this 96 square foot, 12×8 shed! New Shed The slanted roof is one of our favourite parts – it’s 13 degrees. The floor is road crush, just like the rest of the driveway,…

Photos: Daphne the Afghan Hound
Daphne the Afghan Hound – she’s one of the sweetest, goofiest, and weirdest dogs ever. And, she’s our new pup. In December Bryce and I were busy – so busy with work and since it had been more than two years since we said goodbye to Bella, and about 20 months since we said goodbye to Lily, we thought – hey, let’s get a dog to help slow us down. After a dinner out and over tacos we decided on an Afghan Hound. Now, where…
