There is not much to report this week, so a lighter post than usual. We had a nice weekend and were able to visit a couple of friends places for lunch and dinner. What a novelty!
Rosie is back in the office two days a week now, so Ollie had to survive alone without supervision. This meant he was more than ready to be let out for a walk in the evenings. We even spotted a heron hunting for fish.
Rosie has just started a few months of no snacking or coffee, as well as limited beer. This is because she had Invisalign braces installed this week. Her teeth are a bit painful so far and she has a terrible urge to bite things, but it should get better…until she has to switch to the next aligner tray in 2 weeks.
This weekend we are camping at Chilliwack Lake, where we are planning to hike Elk Mountain, do some paddle boarding and cook some ‘gourmet’ food on the campfire, inspired by our previous camping trip. There is some contention about whether we get up early on Sunday morning and travel to a spot with signal to watch/listen to the 6am England game. Since James Ward-Prowse isn’t in the England squad, the discussion has swung in the direction of remaining asleep.
Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Rosie’s teeth are having a bit of a workout lately…worth it in the end I guess! Loving the bird photos…can you identify the other two? Some sort of a sparrow and the other a bird of prey of some sort obviously!! Stefan, I bet you know!!

I am always hoping Stefan identifies my birds for me… The bird of prey I am pretty certain is a barred owl. We saw it land there, but the photo is pretty terrible.

You can adapt your woodworking skills to Ray Mears style survival techniques.Or whittle skewers.
We have Goat Willows here for artificial snow effects similar to your Cottonwood trees.
I’d say that is a Song Sparrow (singing) and a Spotted Owl hiding behind that branch.

Ah thank you! I thought it was a barred owl, but looking at the spotted owl I am now not sure…
