Sydenham Roads

 

Winter is a great time

to hike roads

and more roads

we saw some big fish

a field track

wet but not to bad

lots of old snow here yet

board walk

and a nice wild piece

with a big climb

not many have hiked here lately

because it can be dangerous

and we finished with more roads

Maple Keys

We walked in the Maple Keys sugar bush

Not sure if  you can walk around, we went in and back

 

Eagles

We went to look for eagles

they're far from the road but with a zoom you can see them

 

Game and swim

I asked Elijah if he wanted to play a gmae

he did, he had made his own game

It still needs some work

the rules kept changing

Saturday swimming lessons

for all 3 kids

 

Chores

The kids all have chores to do

Piano sounds better every time 

Laundry folding is a Saturday chore 

 When done they can have screen time, this time they chose Minecraft 

Stockyard

at the stockyard there are 4 ;anes for trailers like ours to unload

the stockyard is beside the farmer's market

Rien got the fastest dock

you don't get to choose so this was lucky

cows are off the trailer

paperwork filled in

it's efficient

Hoof trim

It's time to trim some hooves

not a favourite job

but it needs to get done

2 working together goes the fastest

Crocuses

 The first flowers are up in the lawn 

Melting Snow

there was a lot of snow

and ice

trees totally disappeared

a few days later

high water in the creek

running over the dam

also out of the field

at the farm the drain is running so fast

for a while it couldn't keep up

Wolverton to Jones Road

we decided to rent a taxi to bring us to the start of the trail

this way we could drive together in 1 car

we didn't need our icers in the beginning

we did the first km in 17 minutes

so we're happy to be on the trail and smiling

we took a short wrong turn

but we found the trail shortly after

down the mountain side there was a lot more snow

we put our icers on

crossing fifty road

icers start falling appart so we have to readjust them all the time, just to have some grip

we slip and slide our way

lots of poop, we think it's deer

my crampons broke too, they got entwinned and I fell 

but I wasn't hurt

we were glad to finnish

made it to our car

the top one could be fixed

the others are garbage
